We had a wonderful day today exploring the area. We went to a grocery store and attempted to
buy some groceries and were again curious about the products that they had, and
didn’t have as well as the fact that there is a bicycle parking area INSIDE the
store ! After packing some sandwiches
and snacks we took off in the city and visited some of the beautiful churches. We took some pictures of a Medieval Castle and
stopped to have a beer at one of the pubs.
While at the pub, we made friends with Arne Joos, the bartender. He helped us sample some beers and joked
around with us for a while. He was very
kind and told us about another local bar where we could sample over 200
different beers ! We hope to visit there
in the next few days. Along with
consuming much more beer than usual, I also have been drinking a LOT of
coffee. The coffee here in Germany &
Belgium has been wonderful, and every time you order coffee, you get a cookie
or some other small pastry to accompany it. I love it here ! I took several pictures of the streets so you
can see how small they are as opposed to our streets at home. Also notice all the bicycles parked in the
area. We are learning the tram/bus
system but I fear that by the time I have it down completely it will be time to
move on to the next city/country. Next
year I am going to choose ONE city/country and stay there for 3-4 weeks. It is very, very, tiring moving from city to
city. We are even getting a little home
sick. When I get home all I want to do
is sit on my couch and watch reruns of Grey’s Anatomy!
