Beer, Flowers, and Love.

Three of the best things in life.

So the US got knocked out of the World Cup. I'm pretty disappointed. We got some pretty bad calls from the referees in our last two matches. Oh well. At least I feel some allegiance to some other countries that actually have decent chances of doing well. Spain plays today in a game that doesn't matter for them, since they are already through to the next round. Rumors are they they will play all the bench warmers to let the stars rest for a bit (and get rid of their yellow cards). Still, I hope they beat up on Saudi Arabia.

True Love - Starting in 2003, we've posed in front of this road sign in central North Carolina 3 times. This was the first picture in 2003.

Flowery Triangle - A flower bed in a churchyard in Dublin, Ireland.

Corona Extra - Having a Mexican beer on the pedestrian street in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Hermanas - Belén and Marga having a sororal beer in a pre-lunch drinking ritual in Higuera de la Serena, Extremadura, Spain.
