Yes, långhelg här i Chile. På måndag är det 21 Maj och då firas nämligen slaget vid Iquique som högtidlighålls som nationell helgdag trots förlust. Bierfest pågår för fullt i Arica, meningen var att vi skulle ha gått dit igår kväll men det skjuts upp till söndagen istället. Nu förbereder vi oss för att åka till Codpa för att gå en vinfestival. Codpa är en liten by som ligger sydost om Arica och som varje år har en festival för lokalt producerade viner. Våra vänner kommer och hämtar oss om 10 minuter, mitt under förlängningen av Champions League-finalen. Det är bara ett par minuter kvar till straffläggning mellan Bayern München och Chelsea i världens tredje största fotbollsmatch (efter finalerna i VM och EM) och folk ska komma och hämta oss med bilen.... Tittar inte folk på en sådan här högtid? Vad är det med folk?

Champions League final 2011
I just witnessed something that might have been a once in a life experience.
I support neither Barcelona nor Manchester United, my favourite teams from either country are Real Madrid and Crystal Palace respectively. But Lord, what a magnificent masterpiece of a football game between the Catalans and the Red Devils I had the pleasure to witness today. What a match those two football giants gave us! The conditions were perfect for a Saturday night of a top 10 luxuary dinner: the green cloth had been ironed and perfectly placed over the table, the 22 table pieces had been masterly placed out and all that we invitees had to do was just to sit down at the prepared table, be served and dig in. The main course was the astonishing final game of the Champions League 2010-11 and did we enjoy it! It was spectacular from the very beginning to the very end, had it been a true main course there would have been not one but a few Micheline Guide Stars waiting for the chef.
The top of the line was Messi. Messi, Maradona, Maestro, Mejor del Mundo (Best in the world), Magnificent. I might never see a game like this one again in my life. It was a pleasure and a privelege to be a witness of the best Champions League Final ever played.
