Nuremberg, part 2

Below are a couple pictures of our hotel along with the aforementioned cobbled-ness and sausages. Wonderful town, Nuremberg.

















Nuremberg, part 1

Unfortunately, it was time to leave Munich. We wouldn't travel far, however, for the US's next and (eventual) final match. Nuremberg is a picturesque city with cobbled streets, outdoor markets and cafes, and tight alleyways; church spires kept watch over it all.

We stayed in what was probably the nicest hotel of the trip, on a quiet side street just steps away from the city center. On the night of our arrival (I think), we saw US coach Bruce Arena wander near an outdoor viewing party that a local bar was hosting. A handful of Americans clapped and cheered while most of the crowd wondered who we were pointing at. The US was set to face a feisty Ghanaian squad, looking to book entry into the next round with a victory, same as we were.

Also...sausages.
