World Cup

The city is a-buzz as the World Cup opening weekend is unfolding. It's so exciting to be here! Yesterday, I went to my friend Adele's house to watch England play against USA...which was especially fun since she's English. Our boys in blue played much MUCH better than expected, which was fantastic! The score was 1-1...so we might actually have a shot this year!

Today, Germany plays Australia at 8:30...and I have never seen so many German flags in my life....they're everywhere! It seems like every person out today is wearing black, red and yellow...and all the houses have German flags hanging from the window! I'm planning on going to the Altstadt tonight to watch the game with some friends, and I'll definitely be donning the appropriate colors. The real problem will be if the U.S. ends up playing Germany...eeeek!

Other than that...no new happenings. I can't BELIEVE I'm returning home for a visit in only 10 days! I also can't believe I've made it this far. I can't wait to see Mom and my puppy dog...and have a dip in the pool....ahhh. It's still only about 70 degrees here at the warmest!

Looking forward to another sunny week...
