Athens, Georgia
Not much celebrating, but I did clock some quality time staring at the sky.

Athens, Georgia
Settling into routines, pool work and dinner out with the whole family where there was a machine with polished stones in it.

Home Meals
Watkinsville, Georgia
I offered to take the Mrs. out to dinner as penance for being gone so long. She choose … a burger joint.
Perfect.
Emptied
Monterrey, Nuevo Leone, Mexico
The last items came out of the closet and into my bags early this morning, day 24 since I left Athens.
At the airport, folks were working and watching matches, carrying giant poster heads home and waiting to take off.
The students did phenomenally well – we’ve already been asked if we’ll work on the Women’s World Cup in Brazil next year – but I am done. This journey has been oddly isolating, surrounded by people I could not connect with in meaningful ways. Glimpses of experiences.
I am ready to be home again.

Touristing
Garcia, Nuevo Leone, Mexico
On my last day in Mexico, I decided to play tourist and booked an incredibly cheesy excursion – a group tour out to Garcia where we’d take a cable car ride up a mountain and then be lead through a cavern, then on to the historic downtown area and back.
Except, I was the only one in the group. Still, it was wonderful.

Final Whistle
Monterrey, Nuevo Leone, Mexico
We boarded the shuttle in the afternoon for our last ride to the stadium, a little wistful, perhaps.
We were there early enough another match was on the monitors with some big reactions from our AP colleague. Mid-match, there was some sort of emergency and paramedics came charging through the media center, all sorts of chaos.

Last MD-1
Guadalupe, Nuevo Leone, Mexico
My team is doing the first (and only) knock out match here in Monterrey, so we headed over for the newsers, joined by my colleague Carlo Finlay who had been with the Mexico City team.
