World Cup fever in my hometown (30-06-06: more party, more pics!)

Sorry, but I just cannot resist to post this!

Germany has reached the quarter-final of the football/soccer world cup today, and the entire country went crazy as if our team has already won the cup!

For hours, you could hear the sounds of the car horns, and there were parties everywhere. I went downtown to find that many people were out on the streets, celebrating, dancing and singing. I never saw that much of black, red & gold before, and I'm sure that you can witness scenes like this in every German town tonight. The weather was perfect, warm and sunny, a phantastic atmosphere that I tried to capture with my cam:

Soccer may not be a very popular sport in the US, but here in Germany, it is VERY popular, as you can see. And it's especially great that the World Cup is carried out in our country this time!

Germany is so pretty. I was there for only 2 days in 1982, I love the feel of the European cities.

Where exactly have you been? Germany has so many different faces.

My hometown (in the middle of Germany) is more than 800 years old, you can really feel history here.

I took a train from Sweden to Italy and stayed overnight in Germany in Munich. My father was 100 percent German, his mother immigrated here as a young girl.

I want to visit Germany some day and if I like it how much I think I will I would love to move there. I love your town, it's so pretty!

Congrats on winning!
