overyourhead - some irreverent musings by a gay London guy - crawling though technology, love and life... so you don't have to.
A nice @Arsenal bar in Boston, sure, but their espresso martinis are made with Baileys. Yuk.
Still, we watched the England win on the telly box, so not a total loss. 🏴😂

Our latest World Cup match was at the BC Place Vancouver stadium. Darce and I had visited an Arsenal pub beforehand, so it was fitting that Arsenal’s very own Leandro Trossard scored twice as Belgium booked their place in the World Cup knockout stage with a dominant win over New Zealand.
In a must win game for both sides, Belgium shook off two lacklustre displays to start the tournament and showed their superiority from the first whistle in Vancouver.
A fun match. In a fun city.

We had a day or two in Vancouver before our next World Cup match, so Darce and I did a bit of exploring, much as Stuart and I did back in 2009. We wandered around Granville Island, strolled along Davie Street, and rounded the day off with a rather fabulous Japanese barbecue.
Vancouver is a lovely city, and we chatted to loads of people, all of whom were incredibly friendly and welcoming.

If anyone fancies a career change, the UK job market currently has open positions for Prime Minister, Doctor Who, and James Bond.
If you love travelling by train, there are few journeys that compare with the scenic West Coast Amtrak ride from Portland to Vancouver. Ocean-side tracks, lush greenery, and glorious sunsets along the way.
Darce and I kicked back, relaxed, and soaked up the views. 🚆🌲🌅

Darce and I took a break from footie (who wouldn’t after that drab England match) to visit Portland Oregon and the wonderful Waterfall Corridor in Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.
It is home to dozens of magical waterfalls, including well-known ones like Multnomah Falls & Horsetail Falls. Plenty of rainbows too 🌈
Our guide Seth was excellent & brought whole area to life. A perfect day away from World Cup circus & reminder that nature can put on better show than some football teams.
