I apologize in advance with my British friends but I can't avoid finding funny to celebrate an "official" birthday, that is different than the real one... but it's the Queen privilege, of course.
Anyway the point is that because of this celebration yesterday there was a nice parade in Grand Turk (unfortunately I had left my camera at home... but there is a video in YouTube of the one of 1998 and ... it is exactly like the one I saw yesterday so you can take a look at it ).
I found the parade on my way back home from my friend Graham's house where I had been watching football like a total maniac since 10 am when my Argentinian team won the first game 1-0 (and makiing me suffer a lot....).
During the "surface interval" between the half-times, I was checking the wall posts of friends in different parts of the world. A friend of a friend from England, still with the pain caused from the events of the World Cup in 1986, made a funny comment about Maradona. He said: "Forget about the Hand of God. Maradona has the Belly of Buddha now" LOL.
In the afternoon I watched England-USA. Interesting game. No comments about the embarrassing moment of the goalkeeper... it was enough that the fans were not supportive at all.
But football is like that. Not always the final score shows how the game really was. In any case, I had a great day since I missed watching football so much.
Among the few things I miss of living here, football is the most easily solved I guess. Since by getting a cable service I would be able to cover it. The others are not so easy. One of them is that I miss dancing a lot. Why aren't there places to dance? I remember that place La Policia a couple of years ago. Salsa, merengue,...
Now, no way. I miss dancing Latin music, rock, tango, no matter what. The Dominican bars play just bachata. Forget it ... I am talking of music you really want to dance. Sometimes Saturday nights at Bohio there is a possibility of dancing but not always. I am talking of a real place for dancing... I don't know, with music of the 80's of the 70's during a couple of hours, another couple of hours with Latin music, something like that. That is why, when I go to Buenos Aires, I go dancing at least 3 times a week. I have to "re-charge" with a lot of dancing and I do it also at home here on the island, alone. So, open to suggestions about how to solve this soon... See you tomorrow again, people
