Deutschland wins!

It took 91 minutes, but Germany managed to pull it off in the end, and Stuttgart explodes in celebration. Within moments, thousands of cars all over the city were all honking simultaneously, congratulating each other on a well played victory. It was a Wednesday night, but for Germans it was the night before a Thursday holiday, so everyone must have been up celebrating all night. We heard yelps and woots and honks for hours, especially since we've had to keep all of our windows open to keep the apartment cool. But in the end, we had a blast and felt like we were part of the winning team.

Week-end Fireworks

Hi, I was told that there was a great fireworks show last week-end, Fri, Sat and Sunday. Is that true and did you attend??

Thanks

Sorry, didn't see it

My wife and I actually spent the weekend in Alsace, bicycling the wine route, so I must have missed it. I wasn't aware of any fireworks show going on in Stuttgart this past weekend.

However, if you're still in Stuttgart, there's the 31st annual Stuttgart Weindorf going on downtown until the August 9th. It's an awesome festival.. more info here: http://www.prostuttgart.de/cms/front_content.php
