EM 2012

Europe is crazy about their football/Fußball/soccer...

The Europameisterschaft was just starting when I was in Eygpt.

The Egyptians didn't care much about the games, but because the majority of the hotel guests come from countries playing in the EM, it was a big deal!

Cakes!

Public viewing!

The Englanders were the most into the game, not too many Germans were vactaioning that week.

German's are crazy about their Fußball, but also about their country.

Everything is schwarz, rot, gelb!

(black, red, yellow)

I went with a group of about 10 to the public viewing in Offenburg, there were probably a couple thousand people there. We had really great seats until people started standing in front of us.

Of course I had to get Curry Wurst!

Deutschland 2:1 gegen Dänemark

In Freiburg after Deutschland beat Griechenland in the Viertelfinale 4:2, people were driving through downtown honking and waving flags. It was incredible!

Go Deutschland!

"Smart!"

I am as long as a Smart car and I don't need to be plugged in!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag!

auf English: Happy Birthday!

Sharm el-Sheikh, Ägypten

This is happening tomorrow!

..except by plane, not 44 hours by auto.

Just a little hot...



Happy Muttertag

I love you.

Too cool for his helmet.

His new helicopter.

SC Sand

I  know, I know!

So many posts, but this cold has gotten the best of me. I even got called out for missing training on Mittwoch: www.scsand-frauen.de

We are traveling to München (Munich) tomorrow. We will stay the night and play on Sonnstag at 10:45AM (!?)

I'm not sure how long it will take with a bus, but "Bing Maps" says, 3 hr 8 min. So, probably 6 hours ;)

In other news, my team is doing really well! A few weeks ago we were 7 points behind SV Weinberg, but as of last Sonntag, we are only 1 point away! I thought it was impossible for us to come back and even if we did the goal differential was so large. Not anymore! 

The moral of the story is... never give up!
