Budesliga Spiel!










So for those of you that have been reading my blog as of lately will be very aware trhat I haven't posted for some time. That is a clear lack of interest in the blogging world. I have since been attracted to the new world of Facebook. Sick I know but its new and I guess I am a sucker for that sort of stuff. I never thought I was but whatever.


So about a month plus we went to Europe. We menas Bonnie and I it was like a Grad present from Bonnie to me or something like that. Whatever, it was a great time.



One of the highlights in Germany was a soccer game we attended. It was great. It was totally surreal. We went to thei 57,000 person stadium and watched Stuttgart beat Meinz 2-0. The home team, Stuttgart, proceeded to win the Bundesliga this year so that was kind of exciting. I kind of thought I knew what to experience because I have watched some soccer on TV and even went to Edmonton top watch some Canadian soccer but I wasn't ready for the hugeness of the fans.


It was so cool. So many people so much noise, so much energy, so much enthusiasim. It was so amazing. The super fans or Fan club cheered and sang and jumped all game and then had a party when it was all done just to celebrate. The people all stand and sing and cheer and say the right German sayings at the right time. It was so cool to see this dedication to their team. As you can see from the picture not every German loves their soccer. How Petra fell asleep during the game is unknown. We even had some Bratwurst and some German water!! HEHE!!


Well, I thought I would post a few pictures and then you can all get a small glimpse of what we experienced.

Thats it for now. I will see if I can motivate myself to be better at posting some pics of Benjamin again soon.
