We had a great time. The game didn’t start until 9 p.m., so before we went to an English pub near the Champs Elysées to watch some of the other games that were going on the day. When we were leaving we went by a hotel, and the entire Welsh rugby team was leaving to go to the game. It was really exciting, but I just wished I actually knew who the players were!!
When we arrived at the stadium we decided we had to buy a beret. It seemed that is what all the French fans wear. It was funny because the mascot of the French national team is a rooster, so the beret has a little rooster on it. We had a lot of fun taking pictures of ourselves in the crazy hats.
I enjoyed the game, and by the end understood everything that was going on. In the end France beat Wales 32-21.
Below are some pictures from the game. Also I have been working on all the pictures from my trip today. I have updated my Web page with all the pictures from my Paris weekend, Nice, Monaco and San Remo. I will continue working on the others. Hopefully I will have them all up soon!

I guess I wasn’t quite sure about the beret yet.
It didn't take long for me to realize how cool wearing a beret really is! We look so French!
All smiles at the end of the game…sadly, the beret was a little tight on my head, so I had to trade it for another hat by the end of the night.
