>I have been gone for the past 6 weeks on vacation in France, and this is my first post to the UT since returning home a few hours ago (I have a lot of catching up to do <g>).

>I am not much of a soccer/football fan, but I gotta relate this story ... we were in Paris the last 4 days of our vacation and were out to dinner on Saturday evening. The people in the streets of Paris had been slowly going crazy all day Saturday ... people wearing French and Brazilian flags draped over their shoulders, shouting at one another as they passed on the sidewalks. The restaurant where we ate dinner Saturday did not have a TV, so the waiters kept ducking into the cafe next door to catch a few minutes of the game and then would come back and relate the progress of their team to all the diners who may have been interested.

>We were walking back to our hotel (about a 20 minute walk) after dinner and it was amazing to see all the people crammed into the cafes watching the game, screaming and yelling, etc. Everyone went nuts when France scored their goal ... cheering from every cafe, every streetcorner, every taxi driving down the street had their horns permanently beeping!! It was a nuthouse!

>And now I hear that they just beat Portugal! Yay! Go France!

Nice story. And welcome home.
