Catching up
It’s been a few days since our last post. Â A lot can happen in a couple of days. Â we took our first drive to Natal to see the USA vs Ghana game. Â We prepared a little better for this trip and did a lot of research before the trip to find out more about travel and parking for the game, as before we found nothing on the FIFA website, but fortunately found some very useful information on blogs and the Brasilian government website. Â At Natal itself, pretty much zero in the way of signage to actually assist in the process, thank goodness for GPS and Waze.
Our seats for the USA game were much like the Ivory Coast v Japan game, right up there sitting next to St. Peter in the last but one row. Â We don’t have an issue with these seats as the view is fantastic, although the really loud cheering crowds tend to be much lower down closer to the pitch. Â Talking of fans, arriving in Natal was like a big party with the Ghana fans. Â These folks were singing and dancing big time and they never stopped, not before, not during and not after when their team had lost, true fans just having a great time.
Here are a couple of videos of the Ghana fans, and Chris’s introduction video.
