Futbol

Yesterday about an hour after putting my bags in my room on the ship, 8 of us rushed off to a futbol game at the nearby world cup stadium.  Since most of the fans on the ship are from all over the world besides America I have to say futbol, and surprisingly it isn't that strange after awhile.  Of course to us in the States it is soccer.  On the way we decided that two guys and two girls had to cheer for each team.  It was amazing to see a match in the stadium that I was watching on TV last summer during the world cup.  Yes dad, the vuvuzula horn is just as annoying in person as it was on TV.  The match ended in a draw (tie) and was exciting until the very end. That is one of the perks of being here in South Africa and I'm glad that I could go.  Monday starts the final prep for getting the ship ready to sail.  It is going to be a busy week.
