Time

Time goes by so fast. We get so tired...
Sunday was a quiet day. We drove downtown to a market because Mecki missed her market day on Saturday due to croquette. The market was closed except for two stalls, one of them was her regular favorite so she bought all the fruits and veggies for the week. The building was amazing. It was originally built in the 1920's but they are restoring it now. It has a new roof and they are working on the outside of the front of the building. It is a huge building.

It was also time to do laundry. Mecki let us use her washing machine which was very nice of her. We were planning on taking it in to a laundry mat that you drop off and pick it up when it's done. Mecki said that she was so glad to have a washing machine that really washes clothes again...not like in the U.S.A. In Germany and I guess other European countries it takes 2 hours to run the was cycle. TWO HOURS!!! Leo said in America we just use more bleach and agitate the heck out of our clothes. Well, I tell you it took two hours to wash one load. We had to do two loads...four hours. Wow, it was much gentler on the clothes though...I am not sure they got any cleaner than my 40 minute cycle...

I am sure you are wondering about the food on Sunday...We had the larger German weekend breakfast. Scrambled eggs, procuitto, cheese plate, bread, Muesli, yogurt, fruit, and coffee. We took Leo and Mecki out to dinner for a good beef meal. We sat at a table for four outside on the sidewalk. It was good food, good friends and we had a great time.
