A Devastating Loss and Adorable Penguins

Last night's prime time game was South Africa vs. Uruguay. The crowd at the restaurant was HUGE and happy to begin. They were so proud they all stood and sang the South African national anthem. The game however did not go South Africa's way. they had some brilliant moments but it just wasn't enough to overcome Uruguay. It was torture. Much now hinges on tonight's game between Mexico and France. If Mexico loses (YEAH!!) that game and South Africa can beat France then South Africa can get out of group and move the the round of 16. It's not impossible - after all Spain lost to Switzerland - which even the Swiss coach was surprised at - in his own words post game interview!


Here are some photos of penguins from my visit to Camp's Bay - so adorable.





Look closely at the back of the clearly visible penguin in the photo on the right and you'll see the head of the baby. In the photo below the baby is rather brown colored with baby down behind the black and white of the parent in the foreground on the left.

  2. Hi Michele,
    Sorry to hear and see your hurt leg! That must have hurt. We are glad you are enjoying the games. Have you seen any in person? We are in Baltimore for a Safety Conference with Scott's company and have seen a few games on ESPN. Looks like lots of fun and crazy crowds with the horns. Watching on TV is just a buzz from all the horns. One of my friends in Kitimat is from Capetown and still has a home there, if you have anymore emergencies, let me know. Enjoy the soccer (futbol). Go USA!
    Love, Lisa
