World Cup Fever: Behind & Inside Our Place

Holland has WORLD CUP fever - the country is covered in ORANGE - the colour of our Dutch team. Below are some examples, close to home to give you a taste of the FEVER!

Here is a neighbour, in our shared parking lot, who proudly displays this G-I-A-N-T ORANGE cow on his car.

This just cracked us up - don't the pictures just speak for themselves.

Next in the FEVER is the WUPPIE craze which started at the local super market - when you get 3 little wuppies, you can exchange them for 1 giant ORANGE wuppie. They were sold out within the first week. Wuppies are now on the internet at extortionate prices, being stolen from cars and you could hear the heart-breaking sobs of children who missed out on their wuppies - UNBELIEVABLE!! We scored ourselves 2 - one for each of us so there would be NO fighting (we are small children at heart). Our wuppies are well-trained and seemed to really enjoy football (soccer for my North American viewers).

Don't believe me, have a look: above I have captured our wuppies watching their favourite team (the ORANGE guy flying across the TV screen is a Dutch player)Here is Arnie giving the thumbs up after our 1st goal.

Here I am above in my green & ORANGE Heineken hat that doubles for a bullhorn (very useful for during the game when you want to shout at the referee - WHICH WAS OFTEN). Lastly, is Arnie dressed in ORANGE (in support of his team) and drinking his sangria (which might explain the face and our lively wuppies). We were in Barcelona a few weeks earlier and were still drinking/craving sangria in memory of our FAB-UU-LOUS sangria-filled weekend. Those pics will be up when I catch up on stuff.
