Germany Wins!
We of course went to eat at a restaurant that would show us the big game tonight. Germany played Turkey in the semifinal of the Euro Cup. This is a BIG deal here. Everyone in Germany watched this game, and everyone is very fired up. Germany did win 3-2 in a very exciting game, and then everyone here took to the streets to celebrate. It was getting quite rowdy in parts of Frankfurt as we headed back to our hotel. Most of the celebrators were just having clean fun though—lots of honking and cheering. I think the final game versus either Russia or Spain will be on the day I return from Germany (or perhaps the day after), so I will miss experiencing the final here in Germany. It would have been quite a scene if Germany won. You can see Tracy from our group below with two new friends watching the game.

Yes, I too am jealous that the "TOP 2" groups will arrive in time for the final game! I will have to "settle" for watching it here at the Institut. Glad everyone continues to go well. Time flies, doesn't it?
TOP: Yes, it does, but this has certainly been a great trip. Well planned and excellent--a true trip of a lifetime.
