I have to admit I’ve got World Cup fever. I’m watching on my big flat screen TV. I love every game. I’m hooked.

I love South Africa.  I hate the vuvuzelas with that annoying undercurrent of buzzing bees they lend to every match, but I love the enthusiasm of the fans and the amazing outfits they put together.  I particularly love, guess what— yes, the hats. Here’s a gallery of some of my favorites.

And just so you know that I don’t really hate Vuvuzelas, here’s a clip from Youtube that shows them off to better advantage and will give you some idea of what the sounds are all about. There is more to the vuvuzela than meets the non-African ear?
