Finally some sun so we took a long train ride to the coast for a beach day. Then, in one of the tiny towns of Cinque Terre, Italy, nine thousand miles away from home, we ran into some Tsawwassen people we know. We were too dumbfounded to take pics with them, but I did snap these:
Took six trains and not once did anyone ever ask to see our tickets to check if we paid. Drank beer. Swam in the Mediterranean. Watched some kids playing soccer in a small netted seaside field, trash talking each other like crazy. They were good. One little boy who was maybe 7 or 8 scored twice and both times he did a blatant post goal crotch grab at the opponents bench in celebration.
A pretty good day.
The post goal crotch grab stuck in my mind and immediately I considered the possibilities. To perform such a display
ReplyDeleteis it mandatory to step in front of opponents bench first or is it a running crotch grab? I suspect the latter would
require a certain degree of breath holding as there is a cost for any long term venture. Your Italian getaway has been packed with old world insights.
