Concerts, Fun stuff...

Here, by our bus stop, I made Sarah pose for what I thought would look like a cool picture. We we're on our way to some free concerts downtown to celebrate the start of the Euro 2008 soccer cup. It's been overcast and raining alot in the last week. Actually, now that I think about it, there hasn't been any sunshine at all this week! Oh well.

Then, here is at the concert with a local Swiss band called...uhh...something like Hol hulotti trop or something like that. It was alot of fun, but so many people. They actually fit around 70,000 in what is called the bundesplatz (federal square). The capital building is the one lit on the right. Could you imagine there being a concert right in front of the white house? And one that is completely paid for by the government no less? The madness begins on Saturday with the first game being Switzerland against the Czech Republik. We're going to watch it with some friends in the same place because they have a monster 50 ft. screen set up. They will also have screens set up in two other places around town for everyone who wasn't able to get tickets. They actually sold out over a year ago. They had to have a ticket lottery because there were over 10 million people who wanted them and they only had 1 million to sell. People really are obsessed with soccer here. With everyone being so squished together watching the game people are going to get knocked out when Switzerland scores. You can just imagine all the fists going in the air.
