Finally, A Computer

My apologies for not posting earlier but I couldn't get to a computer. I've only got limited time now, here at the hotel in Berlin, but tomorrow I'll deliver a full report.
We just walked through the Fan Fest site in town, which is at least the length of 10 city blocks and has hosted roughly 500,000 people on previous days. The venue is equipped with 10 or so massive screens, which have been showing all the action. There is also a Ferris Wheel and what looked like a dance club within the fenced off area.
The place should be packed tomorrow when Germany plays Ecuador on the other side of town. It may prove to be the trip's highlight.
We did experience a slight snag upon arriving here at about 6:30 p.m. local time. We didn't know the address of the hotel and ended up walking around nearly two hours. But it was kind of cool to see the city in that fashion, although the rain we walked in made the moment a bit less enjoyable.
My 15 minutes allotted is ticking away and I've got to check in with family and friends, so I'll catch up with all of you in the morning.
