Erinn Goes Abroad

Rugby World Cup Fever

I’m no sportsman. Sportswoman. Whatever. Anyways, while I can appreciate the zeal of an animated crowd or the shapely curve of a fit athlete, I have other more pertinent interests.

Tangent: one of them (my interests) is dancing happily about my room to the song Moves Like Jagger. My goodness that song is catchy.

 Despite all of that, I’ve got the fever! The Rugby World Cup Fever! I am grateful to be in New Zealand during this joyous time. Foreigners from far and wide have infiltrated the city, making it a salad bowl of culture and fervor.

And by some stroke of luck, I have been afforded the occasion to attend two rugby world cup games: USA v. Australia and Canada v. New Zealand. 

Here I am seen with my partner in crime Caresse Bucchan bellowing the Star Spangled Banner in an energetic but tone-deaf manner. Rumor has it this dreadful sight [correction, series of noises. The sight is rather eye catching] was caught on video. Sufficient black mail for a rainy day. The death of my blossoming music career. Hah!

And here a shot of a few collegial Rotarians who supported USA at the match.

I can barely label this next photo as “a shot” as it is more appropriately called “a work of art”… the bald eagle which I painted on Rotary Scholar Brock’s face. 

And finally with my favorite new friend, Rotary Scholar Nathan of Canada. We were bleeding red that day (so nothing out of the ordinary).
