Would you like bread with the game?

Daily observation:
We feel sorry for the folks visiting Prague who had no idea that they would be spending it with thousands of World Cup fans. Tonight, for example, we splurged on a fancy dinner in the Old Town Square, which gave us nice seats for watching Poland lose to Germany. Throughout the game, Poland's fans would pelt unknowing tourists with bread in an effort to improve their view of the big screen tv. We estimated the bill for the bread thrown to be around $7 US, which is a lot of bread! Next time around, these tourists will surely review the schedule of any major sporting events before planning their romantic getaway.

Hi Mark and Lisa

Sounds like fun throwing bread. Joe likes to at a restaurant Lamberts. Julianna is rooting for Mexico. Bonnie

Mark, we need a photo of Lisa doing the Wanchope at tomorrow's match. If she is unwilling, perhaps you can induce some disgruntled Poles to throw bread at her. :) Take care and go Ticos!

Yipee!! I am finally able to get on the blog site and find my son and daughter-in-law spending time in a food fight- at a fancy resturant no less. At Milby I am constantly pointing both of you out in the stands. The custodians especially watched yesterday(Mexico). Today they say Ghana is the surprise of the World Cup. Costa Rica is out

Sound like a lot of fun ! As for being fun for the tourists it depends on the bread used. If it was sliced bread I believe I could take it. If it was french or hard crusted garlic bread then I need a helmet.

It was the crusty type of bread, but no blood was spilled! We have to give credit to the Mexicans- they have loyal and animated fans, but I am afraid we cannot cheer for their team. They were way to happy to see the U.S. go down in defeat against the Czechs.

As for the Wanchope, fat chance. Lisa is very quick to delete any photos I take of her. I'll go on the offensive, though.
