Grace’s Poppies and WonL
In Dupont Circle Sunday night people were blowing car horns and waving Italian flags in celebration of Italy’s World Cup. Two local bloggers were in Italy last week and witnessed some of the earlier
round celebrations. Reya of Grace’s Poppies has a series of posts from her long holiday in Rome, beautiful writing, so just scroll through. Her report about the July 5 victory over Germany: Just like everyone else we were shouting "Italia!" We were dancing and singing, cheering as if we really cared who won the game (at least I was). It was like a scene from a movie. WonL’s report makes note of Italy’s victory celebration over Germany, but explains why she fell in love with Italia.Also Noted

Thanks, KOB! Law-rah of WonL and I had a one day overlap in Rome; we tried to figure out a way to meet there, have a cappucino or something, but it was too hard to figure out the phones. Getting together in Rome was her idea, a great one even though it didn't work.
Thanks for the link! I can't believe this one post has gotten so much attention. Still looking for someone to take the cat if you're reading and interested, please e-mail me.
Ditto the thanks! I am still trying to find time to write about my time in Italia and am refraining from reading Reya's posts until after I write mine.
Yeah, it's pretty hard to communicate when you have to pop into internet cafes! Next time, Reya:-)
Thanks for hitting me up as a BoN. As always, I appreciate it!
I wish I was in Italy today.
Thanks for the notes everyone.
thanks for the link to my lame-ass blog-- I haven't checked in a few days and so THIS is why site meter was like "hello, you are popular for about 13 minutes".
