Fußball & Asilomar State Beach

 

Natürlich verfolgen auch wir hier im fernen Westen die Europameisterschaft im Fußball. Das lustige ist, dass durch die Zeitverschiebung die Spiele schon um 11:45 morgens bei uns stattfinden. Also suchten wir uns schon in der früh eine Sportbar, die das Soccer Game überträgt. Eigentlich muss man nicht lange suchen, da es rings rum überall diverse Sport-Bars gibt. Wir haben dann ein sehr schönes British Pub direkt im Old Town von Monterey ausfindig gemacht.

The Crown and Anchor Pub & Restaurant
Bevor wir zu der Tragödie des Fußballspieles übergreifen, möchte ich noch ein paar Worte über das Pub schreiben. The Crown & Anchor Pub ist völlig authentisch britisch eingerichtet, und das vor allem liebe- und stilvoll.
Die Auswahl der Biersorten ist riesig, leckere, und preislich erschwingliche Gerichte stehen auf der Speisekarte. Das tolle an den Restaurants und Pubs hier ist, dass ein oder mehrere Refills des Getränkes völlig kostenlos sind – ausgenommen alkoholische Getränke natürlich – schade. 🙂
Das Personal ist zudem sehr freundlich und kompetent. Auch das Publikum scheint eher reifer zu sein, und man trifft dort auf gesellige Artgenossen.

The Crown and Anchor Pub ist auf jeden Fall ein Besuch wert, sollte man sich hier in der Gegend aufhalten.
Weitere Informationen, sowie die Speisekarte könnt ihr auf deren Homepage einsehen.

So und nun zum Fußballspiel Deutschland vs. Italien, bzw. allgemein dem Thema Fußball.
Seit der Fußball WM 2006 tirtt der Kommerz – wie ich finde – immer mehr in den Vordergrund. Schon lange vor den Ereignissen gibt es zahlreiche Werbeartikel zu kaufen, aber auch Bäckereien fangen an EM-Brötchen zu backen. (etc. pp.) Die Frage die sich mir stellt, wie viel Kommerz verträgt Fußball, bzw. allgemein der Sport? Ich bin diesbezüglich auf keine richtige Antwort gekommen. Für mich ist  jedoch klar, dass die Kommerzialisierung sich in der Gesellschaft widerspiegelt. Traurig wenn man darüber mal nachdenkt.

Was mich weiter sehr enttäuschte sind die zunehmend erstellten Grafiken, die teilweise rassistische Hintergedanken haben, und in Facebook die Runden machen. Aber auch große Zeitungsindustrien wie die Bild-Zeitung, gehen damit an die Öffentlichkeit.

Leider regiert Geld den Fußball.

So genug geredet, nun aber mal zum eigentlichen Thema. Das heutige Spiel stellte sich als eine Tragödie für die deutschen heraus. Zahlreiche Chancen wurden anfangs leider nicht verwertet und somit kam eben das vorzeitige aus.
Traurig, aber dennoch verdient wie ich denke.  Italien war einfach die überlegenere Mannschaft.

Da das Fußballspiel bei uns um ca. 2 Uhr mittags endete, fuhren wir noch an einen in der nähe liegenden Strand, worauf ich im folgenden gleich näher eingehen werde.

Asilomar State Beach
Wir hatten nicht direkt hingefunden, also fragten wir eine nette Dame des Monterey Bay Aquariums wo es denn zu diesem Beach geht. Sie erklärte uns kurzer Hand den Weg, und lies anmerken, dass sie nicht sicher ist, ob dieser Strand wieder geöffnet sei, da in den letzten Tagen sich dort viele Haie tummelten. Huch! Dort angekommen, ging es über Sanddünen sowie einem Holzweg direkt an den wunderschönen mit weißem Sand verzierten Strand.

Die Wellen sahen von weitem perfekt zum surfen aus – aber halt – wie war das noch einmal mit den Haien? Der Strand schien aber wieder geöffnet zu sein, auch befanden sich bereits Leute im Wasser, also kein Grund zur Sorge! 🙂

Als wir jedoch ein wenig am Strand entlang gingen, um uns einen passenden Platz zu suchen, machten wir eine unschöne Entdeckung. Am Boden lag eine tote Seerobbe. Haiangriff? 😀 Nein, man sah keine Bisswunden! Puh… 🙂

Wir werden morgen noch einen Beach am bekannten 17-Mile-Drive anfahren, bevor wir dann am nächsten Tag weiter östlich Richtung Yosemite Nationalpark fahren werden.

  57. The design for your site is a tad off in Epiphany. Nevertheless I like your website. I might need to install a normal web browser just to enjoy it.

  58. This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‚Mixview‘ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of „neighbors“ will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune „Social“ is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
