My Very Long Travel Day

July 1st
The time was now 12:30 am, I was still awake and Brian had just sat down with me on the couch so we could watch the pregame of the U.S. vs German World Cup semi-final soccer match.  At this point we started sipping our coffees. 

The game was a very good game.  The U.S. defense was fantastic in staving off the German offensive, allowing the U.S. to win 2-0.  I really enjoyed watching the game with Brian.  After we said our goodbyes he went to bed and I only had about an hour before I needed to take a taxi to the train station.  This gave me plenty of time to clean myself up, pack my bags and surf the internet for a bit.

To summarize my travels for the rest of the day, I left my sister’s apartment in Heidelberg at 4:00 am, took a train to Frankfort, flew to Amsterdam, flew to Detroit, flew to Minneapolis and then drove four hours to my parent’s home in northern WI.  And unfortunately for me, I can’t seem to sleep on airplanes so I ended up staying awake for about forty four hours before finally getting some rest at home.  I was very glad to finally arrive home and at the same time was sad that my adventure in Germany had concluded. 

The adventure is over and now it is time for me to change from being vacation mode and go into school mode.
