I don't have much to say but my sister and my mom are in France right now and they sent me this in an e-mail:
"P.S. Yes, it is a BLAST being in France during the World Cup. Viva la France! The night of the last game (July 5), we were in Avignon and there were car horns honking in the streets until 1 a.m. I slept through it (somehow?) but poor Mommy didnt. We were/are exhausted, needless to say, but we have France spirit!!

) There was champagne galore that night! "
People really get into their soccer there... Up till 1 honking horns and all that? What time was the game? Surely it couldn't have been 9:00 when it started, was it? I know that's the time difference from here to there and it was on at 2:00 where I am, but was that a game repeat or was it really that late in Germany when the game was?
