Unfortunately, this blog seems doomed to skip around between the psat and present as today is now Thursday and I still have photos and stories from the last five days to post, but that is okay; blogs are not ocnfined to strictly linear chronological organization!
Last night Germany won the European Football (soccer) quarterfinals, and will play the winner of today's Spain-Russia game. Unfortunately I was feeling sick so I stayed home from the biergarten, but did watch the last 45 minutes here at the house with Robin's father. It was an intense game and Turkey played quite well, but Germany prevailed 3-2.
To give you an idea of the enthusiasm for Soccer in this country, HERE IS VIDEO of the celebration on the streets of Germany's victory in the semifinals against Portugal one week ago (keep in mind this is in Rinteln, a small town in Germany, the celebration in bigger towns like Hamburg and Berlin are bound to hav ebeen many times larger, especiually for last night's game).
