Good and Bad.

The good news is WiFi man connected both computer to the new router in 15 minutes and on his way out setup our Samsung TV WiFi so now we have full use of all the features of the TV again. Cost, 80zl for the TP-Link router, 70zl for installation.

Oh course the bad news is Poland lost to Portugal in the quarter final match that went into overtime and then into penalty kicks where Poland missed one and that was enough to lose the game. We felt bad for them but they can be proud they were the first Polish team to ever get that far in the Euro competition. Lewandowski scored within the first two minutes of the game while the "star" of Portugal, Ronaldo, did not score at all. I am proud of the team for their accomplishment. We didn't take our flags off our car.

Listening to Sketches of Spain by Miles Davis I got this crazy idea for next year to take only one vacation, a driving vacation to Spain and spend a month there. Now I have to figure out if it is financially possibly, probably not. Ever since I was 20 years old I wanted to return to Spain, have 5 time, but for short periods. I want to see those places Irving wrote about in Tales of the Alhambra in his travels even though it was many years ago.

Dobra wiadomo艣膰 - facet od Wi Fi pod艂膮czy艂 komputer do nowego rutera w 15 minut i ustawi艂 WiFi w telewizorze, wi臋c mo偶emy teraz znowu wykorzystywa膰 wszystkie mo偶liwo艣ci telewizora. Cena: 80 z艂 za router i 70 z艂 za instalacj臋.

Z艂a wiadomo艣膰 - Polska przegra艂a z Portugali膮 w 膰wier膰finale. Mecz sko艅czy艂 si臋 dogrywk膮 i karnymi, w kt贸rych Polacy raz nie trafili, co wystarczy艂o by przegra膰 mecz. By艂o nam przykro z tego powodu, ale mo偶emy by膰 dumni, poniewa偶 pierwszy raz polskiej dru偶ynie uda艂o si臋 dotrze膰 tak daleko w Mistrzostwach Europy. Lewandowski strzeli艂 gola w drugiej minucie meczu, podczas gdy "gwiazda", Ronaldo, nie strzeli艂 ani jednego. Jestem dumny z osi膮gni臋膰 tej dru偶yny. Wci膮偶 nie zdj臋li艣my flag z naszego samochodu. 
  
S艂uchaj膮c "Sketches of Spain" Miles'a Davis'a mam szalony pomys艂, by w przysz艂ym roku wybra膰 si臋 na wakacje tylko raz, do Hiszpanii, by sp臋dzi膰 tam miesi臋czny objazdowy urlop. Musz臋 tylko sprawdzi膰, czy jest to mo偶liwe finansowo. Prawdopodobnie nie. Od moich 20 urodzin chcia艂em wraca膰 do Hiszpanii. Uda艂o mi si臋 to 5 razy, ale by艂y to kr贸tkie wizyty. Chc臋 zobaczy膰 te miejsca, kt贸re odwiedzi艂 podczas swoich podr贸偶y i opisa艂 Irving w "Opowie艣ciach z Alhambry",  pomimo, 偶e by艂o to wiele lat temu.
