You will not believe me when I say this, but the Chapman boys like opera. Yes, opera. We spent 3 hours today sitting in a beautiful public garden watching opera singers perform. I don't know if it was the endless supply of gummi bears and cookies that kept the boys interested, but whatever it was, my boys were mesmerized and didn't want to leave.
I'd like to tell you all of our experiences have been full of culture, but most of our European culture revolves around a fierce game of "Smart Car" and "Mini Cooper." Yes, it's a punch for every Smart Car or MC you see. And, in Germany, as you know, every other car is a Mini or Smart Car. I now have bruises all over courtesy of my loving boys.
The boys and I are off to Heidelberg again and Greg will be heading up to Hamburg. It could be another interesting (and when I say 'interesting', I mean scary) evening in Germany tomorrow as Germany plays Spain in the World Cup. I'll make sure we are safe and secure in our hotel before the game starts...I don't want the kids anywhere near the streets in the off chance Germany loses. It could get ugly.
