"Hi! This is my last update from Poland. I'm coming back this Wednesday night. I'm excited to see my friends and teammates. Summer for me is over and it's time to go back to work. We have so much to do this season and I'm very optimistic and excited about it. Last weekend I went to Zakopane with my parents (see pictures). On the second day we went up in the mountains. Three hours climbing up and three more down ... very hard workout. But it was a great time for me and my family. Right now Euro 2008, the European soccer championship tournament, is going on. Walking down the streets of every Polish town, you can see people wearing white and red outfits and there are Polish flags on windows and cars. Everybody is so excited about Euro 2008. Yesterday we lost 0-2 against Germany. The funny thing is that the two goals were made by Lukas Podolski, a guy who was born in Poland but now plays for Germany. I hope we win the next two matches against Austria and Croatia."
