i am a canoe

such a shame for mexico yesterday, but i couldn´t say that argentina didn´t play well.....after a few games of footy in the park yesterday we were able to watch the germany game in a cozy biergarten with one of our amazing hosts, steffie and a few of her friends. the kicker table in the back was on about an 80 degree slant but a few canadians joined in the game and with enough rotating around of players i think everyone had a jolly old time....
leipzig being a part of the former east germany has shaped the environment in an astounding way, at some points resembling a run down east-southeast cleveland with very litte money outside of what we have seen of the city center. gutted buildings stand vacant with windows broken and surrounding property completely grown over with weeds and untamed foliage...not a whole lot of people around but it could be that it´s the weekend. maybe something different tomorrow.
again we have had the luck of amazing hosts, they allow us whatever space we might happen to take up and have this rad bathroom with 2 showers and 4 sinks all in a row like a hostel. it´s a beautiful flat and relaxed inhabitants. they set up the footy game the other day with their downstairs neighbors, even though no one from our flat was playing that day....who will be first in the river tomorrow when we go canoing?
