Deutschland!
Having arrived in Stuttgart on Monday morning, Justin and I are in Munich now - we took the train down here today. Also, I´m typing on a German keyboard and it´s weird.
The game yesterday (France v Switzerland) was a lot of fun - the game itself was disappointing, a rather dour nil-nil draw, but the atmostphere was fantastic... some 52000 people singing and chanting and cheering their team on. We spent the day wandering around the city in our France jerseys being taunted by the Swiss, who vastly outnumbered us. We found some enclaves of French, though, and sang along with them when we could figure out what to say... after the game, we went to the Fan Fest (massive viewing screens in the main square) and were amazed at the crowd there for the (also disappointing) Brazil v Crotia game.
Anyway, it was all a lot of fun, I´m still exhausted from not sleeping well, and tonight is Germany vs Poland so that should be a lot of fun.
Tchuss!
