Volks Wagon has turned their HQ into an amusement park...

So Wednesday was another long day. It was the last day of school so we went in for a few hours. Had gym first and played some basketball and then they got their report cards. They apparently get flowers with their report cards too. Kevin and I got flowers too so we wouldn’t feel left out. I just gave mine to some random girl when we were walking to our bikes.

Afterwards, Adrian and I stayed at the house for a little bit and then went over to Jonas and Kevin’s house to eat some pizza and then head out to Wolfsburg. Wolfsburg is a very large car city with the HQ of Volks Wagon in it. They basically turned it into an amusement park. They have water shows, tours, food courts, museums, kid parks you name it. We first saw a water show that was pretty cool. We then proceeded to wait for about 40 minutes for a tour around the production line of Volks Wagon. I have to say the wait was gruesome…but the tour almost made up for it. Seeing the production line of the cars in person was pretty interesting, but after we left that building and the woman started talking about all the other stuff I nearly fell asleep. I was so exhausted by the heat and the fact that I was SO hungry since it took about 3 hours to get there.

We were then able to eat and then walk through the different museums around the area. There was the main Volks Wagon one, and then there was Audi (which makes RIDICULOUSLY nicer cars than I previously thought) and one other smaller European car company.

After that we went to the real event, the Woman’s Fifa World Cup USA vs. Sweden game. That was really fun. I really like soccer now. After watching the mens World Cup last year I’ve really enjoyed watching soccer now. Unfortunately USA did lose 2-1. But at least they scored a point. At least I got to experience what scoring a goal felt like in that stadium, and let me tell you it was crazy.

After that we proceeded to drive home only to get lost while using a GPS and end up getting home at 1:40 in the morning. I put on comfier clothes and immediately face planted on my bed.
