Go Ecuador.... I mean, Go Edmonton...err, Si se pueden!!

My life is completely scheduled around sports these days; Edmonton win last night, followed by an Ecuadorian win this morning... which obviously was (and still is) followed with total craze in the city of Quito, much less the rest of the country. People are running down the streets, waving flags, singing, dancing, cheering, honking horns, ect. A tourist agent I saw just now following the game had to excuse himself for the huge bottle of beer he was drinking at his desk.... no one is working today, come on now let's get realistic!

Last night I watched the Edmonton-Carolina game with five other Canucks at our token Canadian-owned sports bar. It was a nice dose of home, but for obvious reasons was quickly bumped by the World Cup euphoria which is inescapable here...even at 5 a.m in the morning.

So now Ecuador is safe and into the second round... I guess I shouldn't plan on travelling anywhere in the next few weeks. ;)
