International teams, with country flags flying, parade the ocean boardwalk with hundreds of
excited urchins in tow; poetry in motion everywhere - flags fluttering in the stiff ocean breeze,
gulls swooping low; thousands of amazed onlookers roaming the shoreline and cheering the action,
kiddies scrambling up the dunes; the beat of Conga drum on the sidelines; well struck lasers
screaming towards goal; a dip in the cool Atlantic Ocean following a heated match in the sand;
music pumpin', hearts thumpin', fans jumpin' and dancers bumpin'... Sound like something for
you?<p>
