Olympic Soccer and Beach Volleyball

Hi it's Laurel again. We have had so many people tell us how much they enjoyed Ariel's last post, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to top that! ;) I'll tell her to post more soon though.



The day after we came back from France, we went to a Beach Volleyball game (part of the olympics.








We saw both men and women play. The men's teams were Latvia vs. Norway and women's teams were Holland vs. Brazil. Latvia won this match!










The women's game was very very close, but Brazil ended up winning.





This was a lot different from the gymnastics because it was outside, so it was super hot!!! It was still fun though.




The other event that we went to was Soccer (or 'football' as they call it here :) The teams that played were Japan and France.









Our seats were pretty high up!!! We had a really good view though.





And here we have my only problem with the game.... This guy decided to wear a super tall hat and sits directly in front of me!!!! Seriously?!?! Sweden wasn't even playing that day!!!!


Eventually, it bugged me too much so I made Ariel tell him to take it off........



....... Which he did, for about 10 minutes! Then he decided to be a genius (not) and push it down an inch! Thank you. That helps sooooo much.... :P







Japan ended up winning, but the game was so close! There were so many times in the game when France could have tied them 2-2. Like when France had a penalty kick and missed the goal by like, 5 feet! After the game ended we had to wait in a huge crowd to get on the train to go home! There were sooo many people there!





That's all for now! Keep watching the olympics! Go America! Thanks for reading! -- Laurel :)

P.S. Stay cool! I heard it's like 100 degrees in America! I hope you all survive the heat!
