Apfelschorle
My new favorite drink! Apfelschorle is a mix of about 50% apple juice and 50% sprudel (mineral water). You can make it at home, buy it in bottles, or get it at restaurants here in Germany. Very refreshing. Try it!
Yesterday when Marty finished work, he stopped by the apartment to pick me up and then we went to the Wal-Mart Super Center here in Munich. We needed a vacuum cleaner and some other items for the apartment. In some ways it seems very similar to Wal-Mart at home. They have similar goods, decent prices, etc. But it's also very German. To get a shopping cart, you pay a deposit which is returned when you bring the cart back at the end of your shopping trip. You don't see shopping carts rolling around loose in the parking lot, that's for sure. (They also do this at the grocery market around the corner from our apartment.) And at Wal-Mart you can buy big cases of beer for very cheap prices. Very, very cheap. I don't even want to tell you how cheap, or I will hear the screams all the way from Connecticut.
Uh-oh. I think a box may have been lost from our air shipment. We are missing our dishes, glasses, mugs, and tupperware. I know I had that stuff marked for the air shipment, and I will be very sad if it is really lost. I keep hoping it will show up when the sea shipment is delivered, but I don't know. Those were my favorite dishes of all time! They were from Lillian Vernon, man!
