Friday.....

The picture is the town of Eshenbach.

…Today Lisa and I went out and about. We were not really sure what we were going to do. We went to Seltmann Dish factory here in Weiden. I LOVE to shop there because they have an irregular section. The irregulars have itty bitty flaws that you have to look close to find. I’ve bought platters from there before and just love using them. WELL, I hit the jackpot today! You have to just take your time and go through the dishes. I found a beautiful platter that I just ‘Had’ to have. I kept looking and found another piece to it, then another. Finally, I found a soup serving bowl to match and I was So excited. I wound up with 7 matching pieces and was oh so happy. What REALLY made me happy was that the original cost of what I got would be around 350€….I paid 28€! I LOVE a bargain!!! Lisa found some goodies too. Her husband is never going to let her shop with me again.

We were both dying for a Diet Coke with ICE so we turned into Americans and went to post for a Subway and soda. We visited a few more places and on our drive we found a cute little town and decided to stop and have a look. It was a typical German town with a cobblestone road leading through the center of town, a few shops, dining, ice cream shop, etc. We make a little stop for ice cream and headed back to the hotel. It was a beautiful day and a great day for a drive-a-bout.

The day wound down with dinner for two. Larry and I had dinner alone for the first time on our trip. We went to an Italian place where the food is just amazingly good. We share meals here because they are very LARGE portions. We shared a cucumber salad which is so yummy and we also shared a pasta dish. The icing on the cake of the day was, when they sat our pasta dish in front of us guess what the dish was? It was the exact same dish design I bought earlier in the day! I was so excited and said to Larry, “That’s it! That’s the dish design I bought today”. He liked it and said, “Cool! I really like it. This is a sign that you made the right choice.” We had time to talk and catch up a little. We have had very little time together but the bottom line is; we are together and we lay our head down at night side by side.

Word of the day: Wasser (Vah-sa) is Water. Bitte (bitt-ah) Please.
Wasser bitte= Water please. However, in Europe you have to specify if you want water with gas or without. Of course without is plain water. With gas is carbonated water. For me, NO gas please!
