Funny how all the buildup for was for US England when the most important game the US will play in this World Cup is today. Versus Slovenia. A win for either side puts them in a great position to qualify. This is a must win game for the US, which cannot be stated enough. We are quite stoked, as our traveling crew (Chamo, my buddy Strike from the Cal Poly Club team CPSC WHAT IT DO!, and myself) all are die-hard fans of a team that is playing today. Chamo of course gets the glory game today as we are headed to England Algeria, but Strike and I will get to see the US play in Africa for the first time and hopefully we can find some US fans in Cape Town to get down with us as we sing our way into the second round. The best part of this is the fact that he and I will be going to ENG-ALG in full US gear because we won’t have a chance to change between games. Here’s to hoping no one stabs us!

Yesterday we went grocery shopping at a CheckersHyper after we checked into our hotel in Cape Town and it was the funniest thing ever. We thought we were going to a grocery but ended up in the most ridiculous mall I have ever seen. We had some donuts and pies for lunch and went hunting for postcards. I kid you not, no one in this country sells postcards. I’m going to keep trying though because I need to send a couple out and one setback will not stop me! I wish I had my camera for the grocery shopping, we ended up in so many funny situations where we couldn’t stop laughing like when I bought “African cheese” and when our cart consisted of chips, crackers, cookies and beer. We eat really well. It really was like shopping in another language which sounds weird but when you can’t figure out what half the food is, it does make things complicated. When we got home we turned our shower into a ghetto fridge and started watching games. We alternated taking naps and killing beers which was delicious. Yes, napping can be delicious. Having a lazy day was really nice since we have a game today and are likely trying to climb Table Mountain tomorrow if the weather holds. ONE TIME!

Gotta say, the food here is pretty solid. That was one of my biggest concerns for the trip, but I have been pleasantly surprised which has been awesome. The people are so nice here, always friendly and helpful. Strike and Chamo were wrestling like five year olds last night and this morning, which was hilarious. We purchased a mini ball yesterday and it has turned into weapon A when anyone is not paying attention. Quite dangerous. Much love from Cape Town and let’s go get a US win BABBBBYYYYYYYYYY.

Always and forever loving them States of America and repping them like it’s going out of style,
