World Cup Qualifier: Mexico 2 U.S.A.1

The U.S. lost their World Cup Qualifier today against Mexico at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico.
The sad fact is, the U.S. looked like they were content to walk away with a tie, but El Tri would only take a win. Anything less would have been a loss in their eyes.
On Mexican soil, the U.S. team is now 0-23-1. Regardless of what anyone says, history always plays a part in these games.
After the recent 5-0 loss for the CONCACAF Gold Cup final, the U.S. seemed like they were ready to come back with vengeance. Sadly, they never seemed to get any sort of flow going.
After Charlie Davies early goal to put the U.S. in the lead, they seemed content to lay back. Two Mexican goals later and the U.S. were beat.
Luckily they are still in second place in their group and will most likely make it to the World Cup.
Hopefully if they meet up with Mexico in South Africa, they can get back the confidence they are obviously missing right now.

Classic Car Show-Stowe Vermont Part 1







Last weekend the town of Stowe Vermont held the 52nd Annual Antique & Classic Car Meet . We were not in town for the weekend of the show, but were there for the week leading up to it.
It was fun to see the classic cars trickle in through the week. We would see one or two each day. By Thursday night, the town was filled with some truly beautiful classic cars. The main street and the hotel parking lots were dotted with cars that were restored to there original glory, and probably even better than new.
I had to admire the care that the men and women who owned these automobiles had for their cars. You could see the pride they had in them, and rightfully so.
On Thursday night and Friday morning I took photos of the cars in the parking lot of the beautiful Green Mountain Inn and the neighboring streets. I also took photos at the Town & Country Resort on the Mountain Road.
I would like to thank the owners who took time to talk a little about their cars. They were very friendly and more than accommodating in letting me take pictures.

I will include photos over the next couple of posts.
