I suggest you keep checking the blog for a week or two.

See U all home......

Last Day in Berlin

Can't he;lp to feel so sad. I really do not want to leave this place. I love Berlin. The atmosphere here is great. The German organization made sure that regardless of tickets for the games every one has a month of party. Aimee and I are really glad to be back in Berlin. Berlin has many faces, the east side (the old communist part) is very hippy like; sort of like Austin. The west side is incredible, big businesses, old historical buildings and a lot of history. For right now, the whole city has the face of football. Last night, while having dinner at the "Hard Rock Cafe Berlin" we watched the Germans win the third place. The city went crazy right after the final second. They celebrated like they have won the championship. It was beautiful to be here and see them yelled, jumped, sang, etc. I am glad that the Germans have over come the common guilt they seemed to have before the world cup and have come together as a proud nation.

This is by far the best world cup I have been to. This has been a long month party of celebration, football, singing and making friends. I am going to miss this so much when I have to come back to my daily life.

Anyway, the final is tonight and I do not I believe I will strength to report later so, I will see you guys when I come back .

Back To Germany

we have come back to Germany and our first stop was Munich due that here was one of the games that would play for the semi-final. We came to the surprise that Germany was eliminated from the world cup. It was really sad to see all the Germans get sad when the second goal from Italian went into the net. The pics below belong to my time in Munich. We are now in Frankfurt. The city is very like New York. It is very busy and business oriented. Here I have seen one of the most impressive Fanfests. There is a huge TV set up in the middle of the river, and you can rent a boat to watch the games. Unfortunally for me and Aimee, there are no more games here.

The athmosphere in Frankfurt is almost gone since there is no mre games here. One does not see the singing and thousands of fans cheering for a particular team. The city here has gone back to the normal tourism. I cant not help feel a little sad that this is all coming to and end. Aimee and I are looking forward to go to Berlin where hopefully there is a much better athmosphere, and where we will be watching the final.

All and all, this has been a wonderfull experience. We have literally travel close to 70% of Germany and it is an incredible country. :(.

Thanks everyone for your comments and I hope the blog brought a little insight from what Aimee and I went trhough in this 2006 trip.

I will see you all back at home and lets enjoy the final.....

Brujas, Belgica

Brujas, Belgica

The same day we visisted Brussels, we visited Brujas. It was suppose to be the Venecia of Belgium, but not quite there. It is very pretty, but a little boring. It is a place to relax and you can see it all in one day. The coolest item there, is Michael Angelo's "Madonna and the Child".located at the cathedral of the city. Anyway, it is worth visiting if you want to relax for a few days.

Pics from Brussels Belgium

Bruselas, Belgica

Here are a few pics of Brussels Belgium. I have to say that even though it is the capital of Europe, I was really not that impress.

Allez Le Bleu!

What can I say? Brazil lost and now all Europeans team are in the final. Aimee and I can not help to feel dissapointed that our last remainding American team is out. Yet, I suppose we should feel fortunate to be in the city of the winning team. Below you will find some of the pictures that show the celebration of the French people right after the win at the "Arc of Triumph". French people went to this impressive monument to celebrate in the thousands. Even though we were angry and dissapointed, we did not wanted to miss on the opportunity to see the celbration.

This is our last week in Europe. We have decided to go to Belgium tomorrow, then come back to Paris to finally head back to Munich, Germany. We will be watching the semi-finals at the fan fest in Munich and then the final in Berlin.

Paris is an incredible city and the people have been nothing but nice to us. I really recomend to anyone to come here and see all the incredible things that this city has to offer.

I will logged off now and try to post something from Belgium in a day or two. Until then, bye bye.....

Gerarod and Aimee....
