June 30th
Today was the day that I began my travels towards going back
to the USA. I slept in a bit in
anticipation of my busy long day ahead of me and ate a good breakfast with Alex
and Georg. After packing my bags I said
my goodbyes to Georg and then Alex accompanied me to the train station. Unfortunately we left his house a bit later
than we needed to.
We speed walked to a bus station, took a bus to the subway and
then the subway to the Munich train station.
On the subway ride we kept glancing at the time thinking that there was
a strong possibility I could miss my train.
The subway pulled into the station giving us three minutes to get to the
train. The doors opened and we sprinted out of
the subway car to beat everyone up the escalator and then up another long
flight of stairs. We got to the surface
and glanced at the big departure board, found the correct platform and then continued running. We made it just in time with one minute to spare, plenty of time to give my brother a quick hug and then
jump on the train before the doors closed behind me. Now onto Nuremberg.

It was good to see Irene and Brian again. After dropping my bags off at their apartment
we all headed out to eat at a French restaurant just a few blocks away. During the dinner Brian reminded me that the
U.S. vs German woman’s World Cup semifinal match was on that night (1am)
and he invited me to stay up late and watch it with him. Of course I thought it sounded like a fun
idea and accepted the invitation. Now I
would stay up all night to watch this soccer game before making my travels back
home. My sister, Irene needed to go to bed since she worked in the morning so I said my goodbyes to her since I would be leaving when she would still be asleep.
