Today we met up with Anna and Maria and we went to Chemnitz
to watch the Germany versus USA football (soccer) world cup match. We got into
town just in time for the game, although almost being late because Maria almost
hit a tram! We walked to where the public viewing was and there were lots of
people all dressed up in Germany colors. Heavens and I wore our football
jersey’s we bought for Germany and I wore my scarf and we decorated our faces
with paint. We got a beer and stood in the crowd looking at the big screen
watching the game. The first half was not very interesting. No goals. So at
half time we went to get food. Heavens got a burger and fries with an American
themed napkin. I got a Langos which is like a pizza but it is fried dough with
toppings on it. So I got sour cream, cheese, and ham, yum! We got more to drink
and stood watching the rest of the game. Poor USA they just couldn’t get it
together. Running into each other and looking like fools. Then Germany scored
one goal, then another, and it was all over for USA but it was a great time and
we were rooting for Germany to win, although secretly also USA. However, they
both move on to the next stage so it’s all good! On the way home, we took Anna
back and it started raining and for the first time since being in Germany we
saw a rainbow. And not just any rainbow but a full rainbow. We could see both
sides of it. It was beautiful and so visible! Beautiful!
Until next time,
