Tennis Final in the Shadow of the Opera House
Today, while the girls went to museums, I spent a good deal of the day in an internet café getting the last month of notes from my notebook into my computer. It is a long process and I'm not even close to done. Still I made some progress.
Tonight for dinner we bought food for a picnic for a third night in row. The event tonight… the men's finals of the Australian Open which features Roger Federer (#1 in the world) vs Marcos Bagdatis (a 20 year old from Cyprus that came out of nowhere to make it into the finals). American Express had set up a huge screen in front of the Opera House where people could come and watch it for free. There were hundreds of people there… a good many sporting Greek flags.
We watched the first two sets there as Bagdatis won the first set and then lost the second narrowly. We then walked back to the hotel where we watched the conclusion. By the time we were back Bagdatis had been blown out in the 3rd set and despite a valiant effort he lost the 4th set and the match. Federer accepted the trophy in tears. On that note it is off to bed.
