It was the yearly village street party with food, music, and wine this weekend. Good time had by all.

And Sunday saw the fall of the great Roger Federer in a 5 set Wimbledon final that is already being called "one of the greatest tennis matches ever played". An incredible nail-biter. From the NYT:

At 4 hours 48 minutes, it was the longest singles final in Wimbledon’s 131-year history and did not finish until 9:16 p.m. local time. “The most important thing is to win the title,” said Nadal, who won, 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-7 (8), 9-7. “After that, you think about winning against the No. 1, probably the best player in history or close, and the fact it was so dramatic. But it’s one of the most powerful feelings I’ve had in my life.”
