Are you ready for some football??

We had a great time at the football game. It was a small event- just 20, 000 people. ;) Tobias had just been to a 'real' football game the day before. 70,000, I think? But, "our" team won - we think - we left early to beat the crowd on the trams!










It was pretty exciting for a number of reasons: to be out without kids, to be out with our new friends, to be at an organized sporting event of any kind (kinda new for me) and to be at a real live football game in Europe. Hence the big smiles.








The away team's fans were crowded in a little triangle of the stadium, surrounded by police. Things get a little crazy, apparently. Nothing while we were there, though!
I really enjoyed all the funny cheers, and seeing so many people all jumping together looks really strange - a little like the crowd in the background of Wii sporting events, Marc thought.








Here are our neighbours, Miriam and Tobias, sharing pretzels and cheesy bread with us! Lecker!






















Rivalry, yes - Violence, no!
(Remind anyone of "Clean, yes! Germs, no!"?)

Hey Guys! Glad to see you both looking so happy!! Hannah walked up to the computer and saw your picture and said, "Who's that?" and I said, "That's Marc and Karla." and then she asked ever so innocently, "When they were young?":) You look so sweet and cute together, and in love!!:)

Glad you had a fun outing. I agree with Hannah - I wondered at first who that woman was with Marc - I guess I'm not used to seeing you with your glasses on. Hope your week is going well.
