#100 Meet Someone Famous

Hey everyone. I want you to meet my half Japanese brother. His name is Paulo Nagamura, and he is famous... well, sort of.

This summer Josh, Aaron, and I were able to go to the Major League Soccer All Star game against the Everton Soccer Club from the English Premiere League (that's one of the best leagues in the world). We saw world class footballers like Landon Donovan, Kasey Keller, Tim Howard, Louis Saha, and Tim Cahill play. I personally was hoping to get the chance to talk to one of them, but only had the chance to see them play. However, at the "Carnival Royal" prior to the game we were able to meet and get autographs from a few of the MLS players. That's how I met Paulo. I know it's a bit of a stretch to call Paulo someone famous. Only a few people probably know who he is, but he is a professional athlete nonetheless.

I suggest going to a soccer game at Rio Tinto Stadium sometime. At max capacity there are 20,000 screaming fans cheering on the hometeam with drums and all. That has been one of my favorite experiences from this past, eventful summer.

#32 - Visit These Places: A Fort

This one was pretty simple. On our way back home from Flaming Gorge we stopped at Fort Bridger to witness the fort. It was pretty great.

#39 Be a Genius

There are some very intelligent people that live in Park Place #1. None are smarter than Robert and Bob. This video shows how they are geniuses. Robert gives a lesson about fucoidal quartzite and Bob gives us a history lesson about Thornberg the Dog.
