Thursday night….Thanks to Jesus we got 4 days off in April….sweet!!! So we went to the pub for Karaoke…

uHHHHH Düsseldorf on Friday, Saturday with the fams. Rented a car and set out Friday just past lunchtime. Met at Extrablatt for a bite.
Pops finally shows up with the rental car and we roll. Traffic jam on autobahn followed by detour through Köln (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koln). I did get to see the big cathedral (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Cologne_cathedral_at_dusk.jpg). That was cool. Pretty impressive. Düsseldorf is only about 40 kilometers past Köln.

The plan was that we cook a big dinner on Friday night. However we did not contemplate that the stores would be closed so our big dinner consisted of whatever we could buy from the gas station. Pizzas in this case, but it turned out to be fine.

We sat and listened to music for several hours. Followed by jumping on couches. Weird Al is a comedic genius…musicians and comedians are the new philosophers…

Saturday was breakfast then going into town…we did ride on a hanging tram car thingy through some small town…That was cool. Apparently the safest form of travel in the universe…
Düsseldorf is famous for its alt beer (dark beer). They serve it in .25 glasses and just continue to drink you glasses until you tell them to stop. And they’re very rude about it. No such thing as customer service in Germany.
I think we also watched Little Timmy crouch in the worst Irish bar ever!!!! O’Reilley’s. I’ve made a vow never go to go back to that dump again. However I thought maybe in Düsseldorf it would be different than the one in Frankfurt. boy was I wrong….Don’t worry there pictures aren’t from that dump O’reilleys.
