i just can't stop with 10

after i posted yesterday about 10 memories that i love, more and more kept coming to my head, so here's round 2 of my first session happiness:

1) helping team russia show their national pride at culture night...and quietly
singing their anthem with them

2) being t-bone's wingman as he flirted it up with the girl at the lido
3) watching the kids hang over the sides of the boat on lake como
4) the car accident caused at the swiss mini park freeway because 2 italian boys thought you were allowed to play with the cars
5) chasing the boys to the park with the wiffle bat...and then cramming all the kids in tiny space while we waited for the rain to stop
6) katie and i deciding that "sweat" is our official song for the summer
7) 4 giddy turkish girls telling me about their crush on a counselor
8) koshiro, who speaks not a word of english, playing his violin perfectly at the talent show
9) ivan, the hooligan, playing his guitar and singing angelically...our jaws were all scraping the floor...who knew?

10) the horn not working in the van, so when we needed to honk at someone, brigitte yelling out the window, "BEEP BEEP!!!"
11) face paint and water fight with ahmed at the carnival

by the way, i was assiged to his team last night just to make sure the dirty cheater didn't cheat.

were you secretly shedding tears as you were quietly singing the Russian anthem?

i finally found your off season blog so i'm sitting here reading all your posts with tears rolling down my face. 'what's so funny?' my husband asks. 'EVERYTHING!' thanks for the laugh- i really needed it today!
