Futbal Mania

It's exciting being in Europe during the Euro Cup qualifiying matches. I was in Chisinau last weekend during a match between Russia and Netherlands. The loud cheers that filled the streets blurred the lines, making me wonder, am I in Russia? When they won 3-1 and people poured into the streets wearing Russian flags as capes, their faces painted, it was hard to tell the difference.

Hey! Sorry we couldn't link up on Skype over the weekend (even though we kind of did, in a ghetto cellphone-up-to-computer-microphone type way). I'll try to catch you soon...
