World Cup Soccer - Germany v. Argentina - row 9, baby!

Today was a great day.  We started off by doing a little shopping at the Green Market and the Pan African Market.  I finally found the USA scarf requested by my friend Colleen.  I don't even want to get into what an ordeal that was - they were sold out EVERYWHERE.  One lady at the mall even laughed at me when I asked to buy one.  I also got a gift for my mom - yay mom! 




Then we headed off to the waterfront area to have lunch.  Guess who was on the same patio?  Leo DiCaprio!  That's right.  Here is a picture for proof - that is my shoulder in the pic, by the way.
After our star sighting we set off to find some tickets.  Luckily we ran into some Argentina fans who had purchased too many - woohoo!  Lindsey, Sam, and I ended up with seats on the ninth row for the Germany v. Argentina game.  Going to the game was incredible (JJ, I know you are jealous!)

I ended up cheering for Argentina because I liked their colors more - oh well.  They lost 0-4.  We sat by a HUGE bunch of Argentina fans, and they all had drums.  Really loud drums.  I don't know whether they were really positive or just not too smart, but they cheered and loudly played their drums until the bitter end.
