It's not bad but we need some furniture and the trains still seem loud.

The Deutschland Cup happened last weekend: a 3-day tournament between Slovakia, USA, Germany, and Switzerland. We went to the USA-Switzerland game on Saturday night:
Switzerland was winning 4-1 going into the third period and seemingly had the game sealed up tight. This was made all the better by the fact that the obnoxious (surprise!) contingent of loud American fans had become less loud with each Swiss goal. Unfortunately, however, the US mounted a strong comeback throughout the period, eventually tying the game with about 3 minutes to go. Then, just as Sandi was dreading the game going on any longer into overtime and I was opposite-of-dreading the game going on longer and getting excited for some overtime hockey, the US pulled ahead with something like 50 seconds to go. The Swiss pulled the goalie and had a couple of chances but that was that: 5-4 USA. Also, the US won their next game on Sunday becoming the 2013 Deutschland Cup champions. Good times had by all though.
We have been super busy lately with going to our German course straight after my work every weekday (besides Friday) and then getting home around 9 just in time for some dinner and then bed. Plus on Mondays and Thursdays I have conference call meetings from 8:15 to 9:15 PM just as the German course ends. Yikes. Last night, however, we headed out with the other German learners to get to know each other. I have no pictures to document that particular occasion, however.
It is getting super cold here. They have also started constructing all the Christmas markets throughout the city. It is coming soon. We will see you soon!
