World Cup Summer

In just a few weeks, the European Cup will kick off from Poland and the Ukraine. It's gonna be absolute madness! In 2010, the Dutch team made it all the way to the FINAL. The entire summer was one I'll never forget--plenty of victories, seas of orange (the color of the Dutch team) football fans (ya that's soccer to us Americans) and outdoor celebrations under blue-skies followed by watching the game on huge screens strewn throughout the city. After-game festivities almost always included dangling our feet over the canal and enjoying the late summer nights :).

Actually the weekend of the final game, Christian and I were supposed to go to Edinburgh, Scotland. But after we checked in and started walking to the gate, we saw that every Easy Jet flight was 4+ hours delayed and we didn't want to take any chances with missing the game on Sunday when we returned (although our flight would have arrived a few hours before the start of the game). So we looked at eachother, gave that unsure look, ripped up our boarding passes and went right back home--World Cup weekend it was!!! Edinburgh can wait ;).

The atmosphere in Amsterdam that summer was indescribable and I cannot wait to watch every European Cup game possible this summer--bring it on European Cup Summer!!
