We're not sailors for the next couple of weeks. Hopefully our engine parts will arrive this week and repair work will begin, but Jon and I are taking a break for the Coupe de Monde (World Cup). We have a home at Chez Loula et Remy's....a local French restaurant with soccer (futball) scarves lining its ceiling rafters. We are only able to watch the games that air at 8:30 PM South Africa time, which is 8:30 AM in Tahiti, because they are not open for the 1:30 and 4:30 AM games. The staff is great and welcomes us each morning with Orangina and croissants.
We're happy for whatever games we can catch. We watched the US-England game with our British friends Andy and Rhian, and were joined by our Aussie friend Tony for the Australia-Germany game. Just finished watching Italy stumble against Paraguay. Brazil tomorrow.
Life is good.

It is truly a world cup. I was struck by your comment earlier that soccer is the easiest game in the world to play. So true. By the time I am posting this we know whose in the semi finals, but watching has been great all the same. When you watch the game is the commentary in French? I understand very little of the commentary but still prefer the announcers on univision.
Yes, the commentary is in French since it's French television. The only time we really had difficulty was when Maurice Edu's goal wasn't allowed and we couldn't understand why. Turned out the rest of the world couldn't understand either so it wasn't the language barrier!
