Arrival in Nürnberg

The very next day after the Serbia & Montenegro vs. Ivory Coast match, I was off to Nürnberg for the USA-Ghana match, their final and crucial first round test, and to catch up with an old colleague and friend of mine from my Deutsche Telekom days (wow, I sound like a corporate veteran). Here's my buddy Bernd and myself at O'Shea's Irish pub in downtown Nürnberg. www.yanks-abroad.com had organized a get-together for all US fans, so we dropped by.

I brought along the UGA visor for extra added luck and I finally got my first comment on it...from a techie. Go figure.

Good ole Bernd and myself:


After treating his thirsty American bud to some suds and Nürnberger brats, Bernd pointed out how the town's fountain had been given a facelift by a local (I think) artist. The artist took some old soccer stadium seats and built this:


After spending time catching up with Bernd, I was off to Franken Stadion. It was great seeing Bernd again after 3 years and I was excited to see his family later on that day.
