…d Cup was back in 1994. My first night in Leeds I watched the Italy versus Canada and England versus Wales games at the jam packed fan zone set up in Millennium Square.

…e only Americans there and most of the people were from Israel, Australia, Canada, Sweden and of course the UK. It had been a while for us since we were on a beach that was European in nature.

It’s more of a street with a bunch of cheap restaurants selling Thai food and playing pirated first run movi…

We posed for a few pictures and then we were off to see Lisbon. The best thing about the tour wasn…
