I have now had nearly two full weeks and weekends to enjoy Hamburg, and have been able to see and do a lot of cool stuff. Instead of writing about it all I'm just gonna post a bunch of pics with captions, in no particular order.
Above and below are pictures of the Public Viewing at Heiligengeistfeld, for the England vs. USA match. There were a couple thousand fans there, the majority of which were impartial Germans. However, I found a group of about 25 American students and got the USA USA USA chants rolling. The Brits replied with their old songs and actual football tradition, so pretty soon we had a miniature revolutionary war going on. Still didn't match a game at the Big House, but I'm excited to see how much crazier it gets when Germany is playing.
The next four pictures are of a nature trail and beach along the Elbe river in Hamburg. For those of you who don't know Hamburg is one of the biggest harbors in Europe, and the largest in Germany. It was a beautiful summer day when I went to the beach.
Below is a pic of Alster sea, from Alster park. It is a lake in the middle of Hamburg's city center. It's a great place to relax on a nice summer day.
Another picture of some ships in the harbor.
Below is a professional volleyball match that happened to be going on, while I was walking around the harbor. The court was actually in the middle of the Elbe and was pretty cool. Also not sure if I was supposed to pay, but no one ever asked for a ticket :-)
Another view of Hamburg's harbor and old warehouse buildings.
