(gera and eurocup tickets)
So this will probably be my last Zurich post for a while, since I am going to Minneapolis on Wednesday and then to Mexico, and wont be back in Zurich for 6 weeks! (can you say “va-ca-tion”?)
I have some stuff to tell you about before I leave, so here it is:
Remember the EURO cup tickets? Gera signed up for the raffle to purchase them, and he got a pair of tickets to a game in Zurich on June 9th (france-romania). This was last year, btw. So this year we find out the tickets are re-selling at high prices, which makes us start thinking about maybe not going and just taking the money. AND THEN we find out that we wont even be here for the match anyways (Gera goes to Denver to a conference, more on that later), soooo … I sold the tickets on ebay for a nice sum. (yay for us!). Too bad we wont be here for the EUROcup festivities (some trams are all festive and “football-y”), but on the other hand its good we wont be here for the chaos. We already received the tickets and are currently on their way to France.
I am super excited that I will be reuniting with my grad school friends in Minneapolis. Somehow most of us will be in the area so we plan to get together and have a good time (like old times!). (sorry Kate you wont get to be there )
Gera and I went to a FIFA youth stars soccer tournament. It is held here every year and it was free! It was even within walking distance from our house, so we enjoyed a couple of fast-paced games (they only lasted 40 mins) and who knows, maybe we got to see a future soccer superstar.
On a sad note, I am currently desperately searching for my wedding ring… I don’t know where I left it… I’ve looked in all the usual places. I’ll keep you posted. (on the other hand, it took me almost 8 years to misplace it, as opposed to Gera who lost his less than a week after our wedding).
Well, I am going back to packing. See you soon (some of you) and keep in touch!
(abril sent Gera a knitted poop for his birthday, it was hilarious!)
