Go Germany!!! Go Australia!!! Go USA!!! The world championship has begun and this soccer crazy country has gone wild! Oh it is good times on the streets.
I had my first horrible stomach ache since the surgery. Bah! Katie and I made some amazing tasting apricot upside down cake. I don't even like apricots. I decided to put some whip cream on top of my piece. Maybe this is where I went wrong? 6hrs later my tummy was still killing me. Thankfully it was distracted for a couple of those hours by two gentlemen (those are kind words) from Tunisia who approached Katie and I whilst we were people watching in the middle of the city. Three hours later I was walking hand in hand with one of them while he whispered in my ear that he was in love with me and was taking me out for breakfast the next morning after we got a babysitter for our kids (he decided Emily and Oscar were his kids and my pregnant belly, sticking out because of the stomach ache, was his third child and was a girl, named Denali of course). It was quite the entertaining night. Katie just enjoyed laughing at me as Mr. Tunisian tried to dance with me in the streets and kiss me. Oh vey.
Sunday I got creeped on by a guy from Croatia while laying out in the park. Then I headed into town and watched the fans from Siberia gathering to celebrate their country playing in the World Cup. I loved watching all the guys greeting each other with three kisses on the cheek. So much more personal than a handshake. I wonder how they measure a man - by how firm or flimsy his kiss on the cheek is?! Then I chatted to a man, probably aging 65-70 from Italy for about an hour. He bought me a water - how sweet. He told me to move to Italy and marry an Italian. Italy has great food, great wine, and more relaxed and humorous people. Sounds great to me!
Today was a beautiful day - very beachy weather - windy but sunny. I had fun rolling around in the grass, reading, eating, and running errands. The kids talked to their next au pair tonight! Crazy!! 9 1/2 months schon vorbei....
