Anyone for Bocce?

This weekend we went over to the Bellevue Downtown Park for a nice game of Bocce with our controversial Bocce Ball set. We basically got schooled by Eric, who we found out later used to live next to a Bocce Ball court or whatever you would call it. We started out on the grass and eventually moved to the gravel to change the dynamic a bit. We played two at a time with the third person playing the previous winner so basically Paul and I took turns playing Eric, although Paul did launch a Seattle-sports-style comeback toward the end just enough to get everyone's hopes up before being defeated. Oh well, there's always next time since we own the set! The most surprising thing was how many people would just walk straight up, stand 2 feet from the game and watch. I guess Bocce Ball brings people together.
