What A Party!

Well I roamed down to Sal's on 17th to get the end of the FIFA World Cup final. Calgary's Italian population is a lot larger than it's French, so I thought it was a safe bet. This little guy brought his own tv out of his room out to the patio of Sal's so everyone could watch the game, because it was so packed inside. Both myself and Herald intern reporter Brad Linn looked at each other and said "what a great job" as we were amongst the swarms of people celebrating the Azzurri victory.

Hey Brett,

You have been busy, but it looks likes you are having fun and your photos are showing it.

Wow Nelly Furtado, you could almost be a paparazzi in training.
