| After winning the World Soccer Championship last night in the final against Holland in South Africa.
As it's very warm here, we had doors and windows open, as did most people in town so the roar could be heard all over the island when Spain made that goal. Then started the noise of fireworks and car horns tooting all over for a couple of hours. Everyone is smiling and in a good mood today! SharonCb |

| Congratulations! I actually woke up to some of that noise -- they were reporting on it on NPR this morning which I listen to in order to wake up. The cheering did the job. LOL And I immediately thought of you Sharon! I'm sure the celebrations continue. What fun! |
|
| Oh yeah, I remembered a week ago to think of you Sharon in case Spain won, and dang it I made a mental note to congratulate you and I forgot. Belated congrats! Now all I want is a vuvuzela heh heh |

| I thought of you, too, when I heard Spain was in the finals. What an exciting game! Our city went crazy when the Phillies won the World Series a couple years ago, so I can't even imagine what it's like to have a whole country celebrating! So much fun. If I never hear another vuvuzela again as long as I live, it will be too soon. |

| It was such an exciting win !! downtown Montreal had a lot of cars honking and flags waving for many hours after the game , our city really likes soccer. |
|
| I watched it and it was a long, hard-fought game. ¡Felicidades, España! |
|
| Another with a late congrats to Spain! I also thought of you and the islands when I heard the news. I know you are busy with company...I'm sure y'all are eating good things out and about and on your patio looking over your wonderful back yard Sharon. David |

| I don't think many people got much work done the next day here lol. Not out and about yet David, thanks! My sister and her travel mate arrive Friday afternoon so I'm still polishing the doorknobs and painting the gateposts LOL. She and the City of Gardens Chorus (from Victoria, B.C.) were the only Canadian entries in the LLangollen music competition in Wales and they came third in their category of Barbershop and Close Harmony. Their tour finishes tomorrow. Not that it has anything to do with the soccer game, but here's a clip of the chorus performing in Wales. SharonCb |
