Ecuador won its second world cup game today! 3-0 against Costa Rica. The entire city of Quito is beaming. Craziness! Horns are honking, flags are waving, and booties are shaking. Quito is once again a great sea of yellow. I love it.

oooh here in Mexico is the same thing,all the people loves the football, the last sunday Mexico wins against Iran, tomorrow against Angola i hope Mexico wins, and go to celebrate too.
YES! We did it again! So good!...Now I don' know what is going to happen playing against Germany, because is like everybody knows now that Ecuador's team is being tough, So I guess Germany is going to do more than their best...I don't mean to be pesimistic, I'm trying to be realistic...Actually I'm nervous just thinking about the next game :)
Isn't it exciting? And Argentina won 6-0 today! I feel like your photos. I remember when Argentina won the world cup. My mom, my sister, the dog and I, all in our tiny Fiat, stuck in happy traffic, flags everywhere. I try to explain it to Dave {my husband}, but I don't know if he understands. It is not very common here to have the whole country celebrating a {sport} victory together. I am glad you could experience this.
