World Cup Mai Tai in San Pedro Square

I had the day off and decided to check out the World Cup madness in San Pedro Square, arriving late in the USA vs. Australia match. The street has been pedestrian only for several years but during the World Cup drinks can be brought out onto the street as well so that you could watch on the big screen erected in the street or on the TVs on the patios of several venues. Street vendors were selling flags, hot dogs, and even street Margaritas and beer amidst the chaos. We even saw a giant tour bus decked out for fans of Turkey who are playing at Levi’s Stadium tonight. I found my way past the crowd and landed in an empty portion at the bar of Dr. Funk, whose patio was crazy crowded and who had a TV showing the match as well. By and large this indoor crowd was more sedate than some of the wild fans outside, though we did see quite a few people wearing jerseys for their favorite country and some really going all-out with their outfits. Somehow the sea of crowd parted and there was a lull…
