Over in the North End they were celebrating for a different reason. The Italian quarter went nuts after they beat Germany in the World Cup Semis. We're off to the pub later to watch the France, Portugal match. Should be good.

4th July
The celebrations were a little crazy, over half a million people on the banks of the Charles River. We couldn't get anywhere near the 'hatch' shell to see the concert by the Boston Symphony. People had been queing the night before to get the good spots. The fireworks went on for about 25 minutes, hard to believe but they were better than New Years.

These are s-o-o-o beautiful! Were they really so much better than New Year's?
The concert sounded fab - I wouldn't have minded seeing Aerosmith but the restraining order Joe Perry obtained against me forbids me from going within 100 miles of him.... in any country!
I thought the footie was brilliant. When Zidane walked past the Cup when he was sent off, I expected him to knock it off the podium, boot it round the pitch then p*ss on it for good measure! Sadly, he didn't and there's another TV Gold moment missed.
