Westfalenhallen Park

After a long day in Dusseldorf, we decided to spend a lazy day in the 75 degree sun hanging out in the park being lazy. The local park in Dortmund is beautiful, one of the biggest parks I'd ever seen. Only 3 Euros to spend as much time in there as you want.



















The first thing we noticed as we walked in was the pond. The pond had friggin flamingos in it! We were astonished by the number of ducks and flamingos in the pond, and had to go over and watch them for a while. We then found another pond that was almost exclusively ducks. There were families of small, normal ducks and a pair of geese who looked particularly hungry. I had an old loaf of bread that we decided to feed to the ducks, and they were extremely appreciative. We were able to get the ducklings to jump into the air to grab the bread, and had a good time feeding them all.














Afterward we had a quick lunch at one of the vendors there, and made our way to the grassy areas, where we stretched out and hung out in the sun for a while. We brought a soccer ball, which was brought out after a few minutes, and kicked it around the field.















There was a huge ampitheater behind some trees that there was a 6 hour a capella concert in. All in all, it was an extremely relaxing day that we thoroughly enjoyed.
