football at the farm

Now that Germany’s in the final on Sunday against Spain, I can only imagine the mania that’s been building since I left on Monday.

Last Friday, the night before the wedding, there was a barbecue for all the guests who’d arrived at the farm in Wolterdingen. Of course, someone found a way to get a TV signal and beam the Croatia/Turkey match onto a wall. [View Larger]

I’m sure if there were German astronauts in space this weekend, they’d figure out a way to watch the game!

A bunch of people are flying to Cuba so we had a bit of a Cuban-themed evening at the Batcave for them to get a taste of the country beforehand. We watched “Buena Vista Social Club”, drank sangria that I’d been marinating in the afternoon, and ate tapas that Maria whipped up in her kitchen. I don’t have any photos of the food or drink, but I did take some post-sangria shots of Jan (below) and Natalia (above). The one of Jan was a white balance accident (I forgot to change the setting), but I like how it looks.
