Day Two

We're still dealing with jet lag, so Day Two was a lazy day. We finally got out for a walk around 2:00, a little less than two hours before sunset at 3:55 p.m. It was a supply run; we checked out our favorite thrift shop, where we bought a tablecloth for 1 euro. Then went to a shop called Tiger, where they sell everything you can think of: we bought a spare pair of reading glasses. Then to Aldi for wine, crackers, and German oatmeal, which is different from American oatmeal but we don't know why. German oatmeal is very smooth, and cleans up really easily from a pan. We'll bring some home this time.

My project for the next two months is to work on illustrations for a children's book I'm writing with a friend in Minneapolis. So today I worked on that, sitting in our front window where the light was best. (Photos of our flat coming soon.)

I didn't take many photos today, just these two -- taken around 4:20 p.m. -- of a Bäckerei around the corner from our flat. We bought zwei Berliner for Morgen Früstück  (apologies to German speakers: I mix English and German in hopes that people will simply understand what I'm trying to say, which is the point of language after all. :-)  ).
