In the morning I went to Esteban & Belen's house to watch the game between Germany and Argentina. Sadly, Argentina lost. Still, I bought bread at Gugelhupf, a German bakery.

In the afternoon Vladi and Irina came over and we watched Spain-Urugay together.

Last night I celebrated the result of the soccer game, and the fact that we're back home, with a small dinner with friends.

Now on to Esteban & Belen's, where I'll watch the game between Germany and Argentina with German and Argentine friends.

I watched the game against Brazil at Peter & Jose's in Cary with 15 other members of the Dutch club.

A nice crowd to watch an exciting game with. Very happy with the result, of course.

Update 7/5: more pictures here.

The game started at 10.00 am so: coffee.

I arrived in Durham a little after 8.00 pm. It's nice to be home again.

It took me a while to unload the car -- moving is a lot of work! If we ever move out of this apartment it would be a major project.

The road I usually take to work, I-40, was closed in both directions in the afternoon due to a suspect package. In the end it turned out to be harmless.

I left the apartment in Somerset at 9.30 am this morning.

I'm on the road now. The car is pretty full and I have our plants next to me on the passenger seat.

I just finished most of the packing... I underestimated the effort somewhat.

Now I'll find out if it will all fit in the car.
