Today was supposed to be a really low key day. Go to school and run the study session, observe a class, and then either spend the day in
Instead, wanting to get out of town for a while now that all of the students were with their hosts and had been fed for lunch, the new destination of choice was the largest mall in
The mall was cool enough. About as large as Crossgates with prices ridiculously high, considering the ever less forgiving exchange rate. So we walked around and I watched Frau Canavan shop, stopping for lunch and grabbing coffee. Oh, and for the record, Spaghetti Ice Cream (which is vanilla ice cream, with raspberry sauce and while chocolate powder on top, simulating parmesan) is probably really good tasting, but it just looks gross.
After a relaxing afternoon of meandering around the mall and watching some guy try to interview Frau Canavan, and have someone from Citibank try to get us credit cards (Frau Canavan: “We don’t speak German!”), we headed back to Moers and I managed to take a 45 minute, 36 stop bus ride back to Kamp-Linfort. I then walked about a half kilometer or so back to the Schwich’s house. A light dinner and reading some more of In Cold Blood, which, despite me having some negative views of it (assuming that it was only good because it was vogue to like it), I am actually enjoying reading it. I spent a considerable amount of time working on online CDYR material until after
So other than being grumpy when I awoke from lack of sleep and the mid snooze wakeup that kept me up for an hour, the day was low key. I am hoping the remaining ones will also follow suit and I have no reason to believe otherwise.
