I heard it was Mugabe, and that he was told not to go any farther, but didn’t hear where he was stopped.

“....on a news segment tonight, they
highlighted an American couple visiting for a month, and they said the same thing.”

I am not at all surprised! These people are hard working, humble, and so very warm. Believe me!

(Oops...perhaps not their government.)

This is supposed to be China’s coming out party, but with the music selection it’s more like Scotland’s coming out party.

Estonia looks like a pack of sweet-tarts.

The Irish could use a little sun...

I was in Granada last year. Smells good there (spice island).

BTW, they love US there.

Everywhere you go there is a soccer field.

Loved the people and the country.

I don’t know, I heard Bob talking about it, but I was in the kitchen making Kool Aid (seriously).

Maybe they're too busy fighting off the Russian team.

Georgia came by while they were on commercial so they whizzed by them to catch up. They looked stressed and I don’t blame them. I wonder how many have families in danger.

I remember the days when the USSR team/Warsaw Pact all came out looking stern and surrounded by KGB.

It so refreshing to see all the Poles, Czechs, Hungarians, etc. come out smiling and not trying to defect!

Little known fact, the Irish are so pale they actually reflect the sun. So it’s hard for them to get a tan. ;-)
