Don't Use Your Hands

I just bought a ticket to the Netherlands vs. Iceland World Cup qualifying game. It is being held in Rotterdam, a city I have yet to visit. Rotterdam was destroyed by the Germans in the war. It is supposed to be an architectural wonder. The city is the main port of the Netherlands and services Germany and Belgium as well.

The Dutch still hate the Germans for that episode-that and the fact that the Germans defeated the Dutch in the European football tournament twenty years ago. I guess this can't compare to the excitement I felt before my first NFL playoff game or first trip to Wrigley field but it is exciting nonetheless.
