US Open

Monday night, the people I dogsat for this weekend sent me an e-mail asking if I wanted to take 2 free tickets to the US Open off their hands. My response? Um- YEAH!

Our seats were at the tip top of the stadium. However I was not worried about that because: A. The tickets were free, B. I have a super long lense for my camera, and C. The view behind us was awesome (which you'll see in a sec).

We got to see 2 matches. One with Venus Williams playing an Aussie, and the other was Rodger Federer against Maximo Gonzales.

There is our gold medal winning Venus!

If you scroll back up to the first picture it will give you an idea of how powerful my 'paparazzi' lense is. I was still sitting on our seats when I took these shots.

Here is Venus being interviewed after her victory.

Now, right over our shoulders was this view:

The colors on the skyline were so gorgeously intense! I kept my eye on it, because the colors would change every few minutes. 

Here are a few shots from the Federer/Gonzales match.

 The US Open is more rowdy than Wimbledon, which we were happy about.  They had a guy who kept screaming "I love you Venus!!" And while she was being interviewed she just laughed and said thanks. 

This is off the subject, but as I was getting off the subway today a guy stepped on my heel and broke the strap on my shoe!!! I was so upset. I could barely walk...I looked like a fool. So luckily I found a pair of $5 shoes from some cheap store to get me home....
