I've been to two of the FIFA Club World Cup games in Seattle in the past week, and it has been so much fun living downtown while this all is happening.
Living downtown near the Market means the world comes to me. This week, I've seen Brazilians, Argentinians, Parisians, Japanese people, people from Spain and Italians.
This morning I was walking my dog, and I think I saw guys from Paris Saint-Germain running in my neighborhood. They were wearing PSG logos on their clothes, and they had the floppy and flexible running gait that soccer players have, compared to marathons runners who look like they are not having fun.
Today while I was getting dinner, I am sure I saw some French or Italian women. When I see women so elegantly dressed, but casual at the same time, with perfect hair and sunglasses, I know they are from a major metropolitan area. These women were not about to get on a cruise to Alaska for a week.
It is fun to be at the heart of it all, and have the fun come to me.
