In honor of the Olympics, the next theme is: Sports!
Even if you haven't made a trip to the Olympic Games or the World Cup, you probably have something to share! Jump in the game* and post your pics of anything sports related.
Some ideas to get you started: - athletic activities you've pursued in your travels (hiking, canoeing, skiing) - sports events you've attended (football, baseball, bullfighting, sumo?) - local athletes (surfers off the beach, that cute kid kicking a soccer ball down the street)
*Just for wise_rita I will try to incorporate a cheap pun into each of these posts.
The crowd that travelled to the airport an hour away from the city at 6am to welcome Malaysia'a silver medalist in badminton at the London Olympics home:
Michael Schumacher at the KL Grand Prix two years ago:
wanderlustfoodie, I was so disappointed we couldn't attend a Bocas game when we were in BsAs. I really want to do that, still. Also, quite random but since you posted a photo, Rooney's trainer just won the agility category at the Westminster Dog Show (I've been watching it all weekend).
That's great! I will be watching from home this year.
The Bocas game was crazy. They keep an entire section empty between home and away fans and when a player got red carded he was escorted off the field behind bullet-proof glass.
GilliC, we were enemies that day of the Rose Bowl (jealous you went - I decided not to go!), we just didn't know it.
I had the better view (we were in the players' section, just a few seats over from the parents of Drew Brees) but you guys won. So it's all fair in the end!
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. Mark Twain

Of course it is! It's on my list of "Sports I've Watched in Frogner Park"! Along with Capoeira, Earth Ball, Croquet, Slacklining, and of course... Kubb!
