Art & Architecture Trip - Day 28

I woke up today at 1100 and ate breakfast outside. The first hints of sun were just appearing as we ate. At 1300, we drove from Bergisch Gladbach to Phantasialand. We were given several hours there for enjoyment. Christof, Stephan and I went on the rollercoaster, the mine train, the rockets and a haunted house ride. We also walked around. Phantasialand is actually a cheap facsimile of Disneyland, The rides are set around different themes, but the content is the same. I got to learn an interesting phrase "Ich will mein gelt urich, yetz!" (I want my money back, now!). We watched a movie in the Cinema 2000 called "Pictures of America." It was interesting to see the many places I have been - and that no one else in the room has... We went home around 1800 and had a supper of duck (ente) and rice. It was very good. The Johland's grandmother came to dinner. We later met Christoff outside - we were planning to play Football (soccer). Their friend, Philip, was sick and we did not have air in the footballs we had anyway, so we tried to play tennis in the street while listening to the American radio station. At 2100, I called Beth to set up a meeting for our Art/Architecture class in Koln. We agreed that it should be tomorrow. At 2300, the "America versus the Rest of the World" soccer tournament came on television - so we watched it. I was happy to see Maradona and the America team (mostly South American players) come back from a 2-0 deficit to win the game in a shoot-out (4-3). I went to bed at 0045.
