10. Just about to watch the highlights

Fri Jul 3, 2026, 09:45 PM

Friday

We were helping at a fireworks event at our church (which has a great view of the city's fireworks). I was doling out popcorn to gobs of people and my phone started pinging. Messages from my son, my sister, etc. "I can't believe what I'm seeing!"

I opened my phone at the 91st minute and laughed out loud. Gotta love Cape Verde - such an underdog.

This has been a great WC so far.
