German Optimism

Pope Benedict has arrived in his (and my) home town Munich, Bavaria.
A frontline report from a friend back there:
"Munich is upside down. Those who love him are afraid not to be close to enough to him. The others, who show no interest for him, are irritated because the whole city will be out of control for 3 days."
It's really difficult to make Germans happy!

49ers vs San Diego Chargers

Yesterday, in Monster Park, my first professional American football game, together with Juan, Travis, and girlfriend.
It was helpful to have some native North Americans around, so they could help me to understand that there's no homerun in American football but only in baseball (oh, that's a different game?)
Oh, and I should have picked the red (49ers!), not the blue sweater...
The 49ers won anyway 23-14.
Thanks to Mark for the tickets!
