Einkaufen

Einkaufen means shopping, which pretty much explained what we did today..

We decided we needed to do some shopping on our own! Since all the best stores are practically in our front yard, we set out on our adventure after breakfast! We strolled up and down the streets going in and out of different stores! Oma and I both found some good bargains and some things we absolutely needed! Which for me included a brand new pair of black oxfords :) and a brown leather jacket!

I was very tempted to buy this cat shirt, but I knew Becky would disown me if I came home sporting that big cat on my shirt...and that would of been a CAT-tastrophe !

 

Everyday there have been vendors set up outside selling all kinds of things! Today we stopped at the watch booth and I probably would of bought 10 if Oma wouldn't have been there to stop me!  We both settled on one though; a black one for Oma and a rose colored one for me! 

  

We stopped to pose for a picture in front of a little garden and an old street car! Dortmund has now converted to the underground subway as the main transportation system! However, Oma told me a story of last time she was here during the soccer season, a street car was driving through town with Dortmund fans covering the bus. She said it looked like a huge bee hive since their colors are black and yellow. The fans were hanging on all around while it drove through town! But now you can have coffee and cake inside this one set up in town.

 After walking around for a few hours we started to feel like this dog! His owner parked him right there in T. K. Maxx (Germany's version of T.J. Maxx) and told him to take a nap till he got back, so he did! After that we decided to get us a cappuccino!

After we got home Tanta Anneliese's brother came for a visit! He brought us this delicious pie/cake/heaven. Don's ask me what it's called, all I know is that it is wonderful; especially with a cup of coffee! After cake and coffee we looked at just about every picture on my lap top. Since pictures are worth a thousand words, we didn't really have to worry about the language barrier. I showed them pictures from around the world; including my ones from London, Paris, Greece, Brazil, and lots from America!

Tomorrow we are headed to the flea market! Then we will be staying at Ellen's house for a couple of nights, which means no WIFI, which means no blogging :(

Oma and I miss everyone! See yall soon!
