Québec City: A Touch of Europe
By Adam Leposa
When we woke up this morning, the scene outside our hotel window looked perfect for the Winter Carnival: lots of snow. Unfortunately, the storm also brought with it high winds that nixed our previous plans to go cross-country skiing on the Plains of Abraham. So, we set off to explore Québec City’s Old Town, as well as two unique hotels in the region.

WAG in the News: Sarah Brandner
Sun, 07/04/2010 - 10:37 — Walter
German midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is dating Sarah Brandner. She has long blonde hair and is 21 years old. Vanity Fair Magazine named her one of the hottest football WAGs ("wives and girlfriends) at the World Cup.
"The pair met at a party in Munich, in 2007. A coincidental run-in soon thereafter in Ibiza sealed the deal. They’ve been dating ever since," the mag reports.
Sarah Brandner is the sexy girlfriend of Bayern Munich’s Bastian Schweinsteiger, besides being a soccer girl she is also a model and one of Germany’s most beautiful woman.
Bastian’s sexy girlfriend has given thousands of fans another reason to watch soccer, maybe they are lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Bayer Munich’s winger’s stunning lady.
Sarah was born in Munich, Germany on December 12, 1988. She became a model sort of by accident. Like many models she was discovered on the streets where an agent saw her and asked her if she would be interested in modeling.
Sarah agreed, and her perfect measurements were just right (86-62-92) and with 5’10” she fit perfectly at Place Models in Hamburg, Germany.
She met Bayer Munich’s young player Bastian Schweinsteiger at a school event, but it wasn’t until they met again in Ibiza that they decided to date. One thing led to another, and you know the rest.
Sarah and Schweini are now dating and spending a lot of time together. Pictures of Germany’s sweethearts fill magazines all over. Now she is known as one of the hottest soccer WAGS in the world.
Her modeling career has taken Sarah to change her residence address several times from Milan to New York and from New York to Munich where she is currently living with her famous beau.
Last month Sports Illustrated asked her to join fellow models and WAGS Bethany Dempsey from U.S, Melissa Satta from Italy and Abbey Clancy from England on their bodypainting special “Bodypainting: Soccer WAGS”.
Sarah picture perfect was been immortalized by photographer Yu Tsai and painted by Joanne Gair on her first appearance for the famous magazine.
