194. Europe Bicycle Trip--World Cup Soccer Fever---Germany-2--Ghana--2

After a busy time of touring Dusseldorf, we headed back to Rainer and Maren's house and we all had a nap because we would be up late tonight to watch Germany play in World Cup Soccer against Ghana.

Nap and computer time

Sound asleep!

After my nap, I hung out my load of laundry.

I also gave Silver a real good cleaning.

I am ready to cheer for Germany!!

A sweet German couple all decked out to celebrate.

We rode out bicycles to Bergit and Stefan's house which has a beautiful back yard.

They emptied out their garage and had a huge screen set up. There were goodies to eat and about 10 people watching and cheering.

Germany scored first, then Ghana. It was 1-1. Then Ghana scored again and finally Germany tied the game at 2-2. Everyone was happy but not elated as they wanted a win.

I jumped in front of the screen as Germany scored. It was a good game and it had been a good day. We cycled home at about 11:30--the first time that I ever cycle in the dark.
