World Cup Pictures

Now that I'm back in the USA, I wanted to post some pictures of the various South African stadiums I visited while at the World Cup.  I have tons of other pictures that I can make available upon request, but these are the ones I thought would be most relevant to the loyal Caught Looking audience.  Enjoy!
