And that kids, is how Deutschland won the World Cup in 2014

I couldn't resist the title, but in all seriousness, GERMANY WON THE WORLD CUP!!! Being in Germany so far has been an amazing experience, but being here during the World Cup was a dream come true. And to make it even better, I was able to be here in Germany when they won their 4th World Cup! As much as I will never forget a lot of the things I have seen and done here in Germany, the fact that I can say I was in the Country that won will be something I will tell for the rest of my life.

 

 

 To top all of this experience off, who happens to score the winning World Cup goal for Germany? Why its number 19, Mario Götze, which I had been saying all World Cup needed to be playing more. So you could say that I picked the right player on my jersey before i went to Germany.

Here is a picture of what the main city in Stuttgart looked like after they won the world cup, lets just say this is one of the more tamer pictures I took, meaning there were people standing on street lights and lighting off fireworks in crowds of people. Either way, Berlin was even crazier I am sure. Unfortunately, when we went to the main city after the game to see how crazy it was we missed the last train back to the University which ran at 1 in the morning, so what did we do? Did you guess wait till 5 in the morning in the subway system until the first train came around? Because that is what we did.... trust me that was a long night.

Well, that is pretty much it from me for this, my adventures will start to be slowing down as I get closer to flying back to the States, and working in the lab to get my research done. It is hard to believe that I am less then a month away from heading back. Until next time!
