Weltmeister!!

We are the champions…
Yey – I have to say we got swept up in the World Cup fever last night. It’s hard not to…
Jason’s parents arrived during the first half… tense moments in the airport. It was hilarious as usually there is a huge push and shove to get to the gates to wait excitedly for your loved ones. But last night, no one was even looking in that direction – all eyes were on the match.
We grabbed our guests and rushed into the centre of town to a bar. Even the train tickers were telling us it was still 0-0. We rushed…
It was weird. Normally, a load of people drinking would mean a chatty bar. However, it was silent. Not a word. Everyone was watching, barely drinking their beer. And it was a boring match. BORING!
When it went on and on I have to say I was just hoping for a goal from anyone, so we could go home. It was nothing like the giggles of a week earlier when there was one goal after the other. Ah well.
And then… Germany scored in extra time. Just in time as well. The bar literally erupted! Fog horns, whistles, screams, hugs… it was wild! Some guys literally ran outside to set off fireworks, the car horns blared, breaking the silence of the night. Everyone was on the streets, dancing, singing, running around with flags in jubilation! It was such a giggle.

This morning we had Weltmeister Brotchen (World Champion bread buns) to celebrate. Congratulations Germany – you definitely deserved it 🙂
