It´s the last day of my short trip to Düsseldorf. It has been tiring but fun visiting this German city. Today Sarah and I met a nice man from Serra Leone while we were waiting for the train to Düsseldorf from Ratingen (the nearby city where we have been staying). We had a funny conversation about quality of life..and the price of life in Germany. He came to Germany 10 years ago to seek political asylum and we discussed the German job market and taxes. It´s funny how even though it´s Germany not the States, we probably would have had the same type of conversation with someone back home.
When we made it to the city today we decided to go to the Funfare. It was EXTREMELY hot and the sun was shining. We rode the Ferris Wheel, ate some sweets, had a soda in a Beergarten and just walked around watching the people there. It was a nice way to spend our last afternoon in Germany. The high temperature today was 95° which is a big change after acclimating to London. I have to tell you that I don´t really miss the blast-furnace like summers back in Florida. It´s nice if you are swimming at the beach..or are trying to cook eggs on the sidewalk but otherwise it sort of sucks and I prefer the cooler temp.
Anyways I guess that´s all I have to say for today. I took lots of nice pictures which I will upload tomorrow. So until then. Have a nice evening.
