I've not been great with posting photos because most of my posts are from a shared computer in the lobby, so I can't download pictures. So here's a few from the week:
Holly in McDonalds. We've visited here often. It's so light outside that you don't even realize it's nearing 10pm when real food closes, so we end up going to McDonald's for a cheeseburger or ice cream.
Here's the sky at night. Can you see the clock in the picture? It's kind of small, but it's almost 11pm. The dome at the end of the street is the Erickson Dome. A sports arena of some sort (probably for soccer).
A palace guard. They're not as serious as the London guards. This guy would look at me until I raised my camera. I took 3 pictures of him. He would watch me move or get closer, but as soon as I lifted my camera, he would look straight ahead. I thought it was kind of funny.
Here are three former Iowa Crush players who are all on Team USA. Rusty Sowers played for the Crush in 2006. She currently plays on the Kansas City Tribe as a wide receiver. Roseanna Smith played for the Crush in 2004. She currently plays for Atlanta Explosion as a center. And then me. I played on the Crush from 2008-2010.
Here are a few photos from our game against Finland.
Here are the highlights:

Here are the highlights from our first game. You can see me make a tackle around 2:15 into the clip:

The 5th place game is underway and we just got an update. Austria was up 12-0 when their safety intercepted a ball and ran the wrong way for a safety. So it's 12-2. How does that happen?
Pretty sweet!!! It is too bad that there wasn't better competition but whatever. Did you ever get to punt? I still want a jersey if at all possible. We will see you soon for the fishing trip. I'm going to tackle you so I can say that I took a gold medalist down.

I posted a picture of me punting above. I punted 5 times during the tournament. I kicked the first one with my ankle/shin (let's call it my shankle) and it went 12 yards. The next 4 were pretty sweet. I got an "ooooo" from the crowd on a 40-50 yard spiral against Finland. =)
