Let the Games begin...

The Africa Cup of Nations started last week and I have heard some bad things about it, mostly dangerous because of the crowd. Let me tell you, that is not that case. After the remodel, and being an american, you can convince the security to let you through in secret locations. This was fun kinda covert. The car ride with the girls looked like this:

So once we got there, we had to wait for our tickets to arrive via traffic jam. So in an effort to sustain a lively attitude we heckled cars trying to get into the parking lot. Sword fighting with flags and screaming at the fans on the other side were also allowed. Thsi would've been a great time to bust out the BBQ and brats and sell them to the waiting and anxiously hungry crowd. Who would believe these two girls are actually cousins? I tried to play that "no way!?" card once, but failed miserably.

We chose to go to the Egypt and Cote D'voire game last night. I cant speak. My throat is swollen. It feels like I smoked a whole carton of cigarettes is fifteen minutes. Ive never done that. There was more nonsense going on before the game than there was during the game itself. I had my trusty Egyptian flag and red scarf and ridiculous red white and black foam hat on too. I can believe how awesome it was to be there. So I made a nice little Panoramic with trusty photostitch for all yalls to see.

Egypt won. 3 to 1. I had no idea there was so much drama and acting on th field. I would feel delighted to be a ref and have everyone laying down on the field just for me. I gotta go again. Egypt is in the finals now! And after the spectacular ultimate frisbee game the day before, I cant walk right (blisters) and you could play a string duette tribute to Tool's "Hush" on my hamstrings. More photos to come...
