Today was a very low key day. Jamie woke up at 5am and couldn’t go back to sleep, so Nashon got up to keep her company for a few hours before we went back to sleep. It appears we’re still a bit jet lagged, as we didn’t get up till 11am. We tried to check in (finally), but no one was there. Jamie wasn’t feeling super great, so we hung around the apartment for awhile before leaving. We did finally get checked in, ordered our fresh rolls for delivery each morning this week, and headed to the grocery store. We have discovered that many of the local stores and eateries here don’t take credit cards unless it’s the “local German card” as was explained to us. So we limited what we bought to just dinner today and shampoo for tomorrow, because the security deposit at the apartment was cash only, and almost all the cash we had on us. We took a quick detour on the way home to let Jamie swing on the swings in the park behind the apartment. Nashon also ran to the bank today to get more cash while Jamie stayed home and took a nap. After he got back he made a really nice dinner of pork chops and rice (they don’t sell chicken in the market either!!). We took a nice walk around the gardens at sunset and discovered that German ducks can speak English (quack!!). Nashon thinks the “exotic birds” here are pretty. We tried the bakery for some strudel. Sadly, the bakery was closed so we came home to eat leftovers instead. J That really about does it for today. We have a big day planned tomorrow including a few train rides, a few castles, and a pharmacy museum?

We are really enjoying reading about your travels and culinary adventures as they are happening!!! Thank you for posting!
I shared this with Gramma and (you will both get a kick out of this) she said, very seriously, “Is there a chance that Jamie could be expecting?”
I asked her why she thougtht that and she replied “Well they are in Europe on a trip of a lifetime and we are hearing mainly about lots of food issues and naps…” I explained the lactose intolerance problem and the jet-lag, but she didn’t seem completely convinced! 😉
We would love to see pictures of the little town you are staying in, and any castles you might care to share! (hint hint)
Pharmacy Museum??? okey dokey :P! So do the ducks have a german accent then??? OH and when you find a chicken do da chicken dance 😛
