On my way to Perú, I stopped on the shores of the Titicaca lake, in a small city called Copacabana—not the beach in Rio de Janeiro!
The idea was to go and visit the Isla del Sol, in the middle of the lake. Unfortunately, a pouring rain made me change my mind, and I found myself spending way more time than usual in my hostel room :-(
A television set there, and when I managed to get a remote control from the reception—not as easy a task as one may think—during a boring zapping this is what I found: the final of the football world cup of 1982! I don’t remember having see that match after the first time, and even if I despise football, I couldn’t help being glued to this one event. Faces and names started to emerge from the recesses of my mind, and a stream of mixed emotions got me completely overwhelmed.
There you go!

Campioni del mondo! Campioni del mondo! Campioni del mondo!
In 1982, I was in a Campingsite in Jesolo Lido, surrounded by German holiday makers, I was 12 years old and it was just GREAT.
Thanks Pi.

We were half a dozen children sitting in the open trunk of a Range Rover, with hand-made flags (nobody thought we could possibly win that cup) and making noise clashing pot lids.
I remember a young German tearing apart and throwing to the ground a German flag in disappointment: it made me feel very sad.

As a side note, I am having breakfast and the telly is broadcasting Italy–New Zealand: I am proud of the performance of our team, who managed not to lose to the almighty All Blacks.
Hey! Wait! But this is not rugby! Awwwwwwwww!
Bella a-l-e: “Il cielo è blu sopra Berlino!!”
Così, tanto per non fare gli ‘italiani’:-)
Ciao Pier, solo un pretesto per mandarti un saluto.
Did you try the peruvian national drink: inka cola ?
Plus, have you noticed the funny ml sizes?
Actually I even posted two photos just for you, with a link to your original comment: here :-)
