Today's program started with a tour of Hamburg's biggest stadium. We visited many different locations of the stadium including the VIP rooms and the press areas. After seeing the changing rooms, we walked into the stadium through the tunnel just like real soccer players do! After the guided tour, we learned about the history of the stadium and also about the history of soccer in Germany.

In the afternoon we visited Hamburg's Picasso exhibition "Window to the World". The exhibition focused on the window motif in Picasso's entire body of work. We had a wonderful discussion about windows, perspectives, and art. We talked about how windows open up spaces, communicate between inside and outside worlds, symbolize human relationships, and how they can bring home the world.
In the evening we watched the musical "The Miracle of Bern", which is a moving father-son story against the background of the 1954 Football World Cup when Germany played against Hungary in the finals. It's about a family that finds itself, a team that grows beyond itself, and a little boy with big dreams.
You can see a
two-minute film about the background story of the musical in English. The musical had some amazing vertical football scenes with incredible aerial performers. It was the perfect closure of our trip.
