Commercial Drive

It's been a long day. But what a fantastic start! I sported the red and yellow for Spain today and cheered along side my Paraguayan friends (I got to do the happy victory dance in the end!). Buen partido Paraguay!
On the east side of Vancouver there is a place, a busy and bustling street called Commercial Drive. That is where all the World Cup action is. Usually, this street is known for its Italian presence (see below) but today it was taken over by Paraguayans and Spaniards. You could hear the game being played from every café and restaurant, the fans crowding the doorways, squeezing their way in to view the televisions. Flags were waving everywhere and painted faces of red and yellow or blue, white and red watched nervously for 90 minutes of play...

Car free day on the Drive...
Clearly, the fans go here (FIFA '06)...
