Hi everyone, I'm hosting from near Durham in the UK.
There has been a lot of cake in recent days. Dad's birthday today and Newcastle United playing at their house

Q1 Which sports do you enjoy watching or taking part in and do you follow them/take part when travelling?
RTWBarefoot
#pttravel a1: I am a jogger-type person. That's the only sport I do. I tend to not do it when I'm travelling through cos I'm usually busy doing other stuff.
I don't follow it cos watching people run in circles is very very boring :D

A1 #pttravel I’ve watched a lot of sports in the US including hockey & @mlb spring training as well as 13 ballparks around the country. My trip to the Midwest included seeing the parks In Kansas City & St. Louis.

A1 #PTTravel At my age, it's just watching. Triathlon and cycling, mainly. And, trying NOT to say 'In my day, we competed on the bikes we rode to work!'

A1 I like watching rugby and support the Falcons at home. I've been to football (soccer), and baseball games overseas and the Saints Superbowl celebrations after their win. Great atmospheres

@kate_frankie #pttravel a2: i don't *think* i've been anywhere where people have won at the time, on a country level at least.
At least not that I'm aware of.

replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW @MLB I've only recently realised that there is actually a huge college league for American football (maybe other sports?) too. I watched a couple of games and realised they are college athletes when I heard Notre Dame #PTTravel

A2 #PTTravel I remember the British Forces (Germany) Cross-Country championships. Some of us saw a wild boar on the course; I believe records were broken that day!

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @MLB College Football is very big in the US. Here in Oregon, we have the @oregonfootball Ducks who regularly go to the post season. It’s in flux right now with schools jumping to other conferences. We aren’t sure what the PNW schools are going to do. #pttravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot I thought you might have had a random story of being in Djibouti (replace with any African country) when they won gold in some competition or something #PTTravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie #pttravel Well, there was the Andre Rieu concert in Maastricht. Spain had just beaten the Netherlands in the World Cup final ... and, a guy in the audience waving a Spanish flag, and wearing a Spain shirt. (Sure he was a 'plant', or he'd never have got out alive!)

A2 I went to one South American football game and feared for my life! At one point, bottles were being thrown and then a chair was ripped off & hurled at opposition fans. Probably shouldn't sit them above/below each other!
