4 Xmas - 4 Continents

2009 in New ZealandI hadn't even realized it until a few weeks ago, but xmas 2011 was my 4th xmas celebrated in as many continents.  Admittedly, I use the word "celebrated" pretty loosely as I'm neither religious, nor into the gift-giving, commercial bonanza that Dec 25th has turned itself into.  Traveling, and my first xmas away in 2009, was a much needed break from the hustle and bustle that the end of the year inevitably brings back 'home' in Canada.

Independiente Victory Celebration

A short 30 second clip from the celebrations for the winning Independiente football club in Buenos Aires.  Rabid fans jammed the streets at the center of Av 9 de julio, with drivers waving flags, honking (a lot) and screaming from their cars as well.  All in celebration of course.
