Today I went with Jamie to Lörrach to meet up with some of her friends. Lörrach is both the name of the "Landkreis" or County and the name of the "Hauptstadt" or largest/principle city of the county. You can read more about it here. We first met by a store called Karstadt and then walked to a nearby Greek restaurant. Jamie and I shared the Gyros with Tatziki sauce (this is a yogurt sauce kind of like Ranch dressing but not so heavy nor spicy). After that we went and had ice cream.
I really don't have so much to say about the experience but I took quite a few pictures. As they say - a picture is worth a thousand words...
These are girls Jamie met in her German language and orientation class last year. To live in Germany (especially if you think you will one day take the German citizenship) you must take a German language class and an orientation course in which you learn politics, history, culture, etc. It's a good idea as it helps the person learn more about the place they are living and makes life easier to adjust to. Sometimes it is hard to adjust to the differences between cultures (there is a term for that called culture shock).
They are from left to right: Viktoria (Ukraine), Eugeniya (Ukraine), Simone (Malta) and Iwona (Poland)
The Greek Restaurant: The Symposium
Simone with her Coppo del Bosco Ice Cream
Me with our Stawberries and Yogurt.
(It also had one scoop of frozen yogurt in addition to the normal yogurt).
The Mona Lisa: this is where we had our ice creams
This is another Apotheke but I took the picture so you could see some of the typical architecture.
I hope you like today's letter. I don't know how much I will be able to write over the weekend. We will be busy with stuff related to the move. In any case, I will try to take lots of pictures and write when I have time. If I don't post this weekend I will make a longer post covering the weekend on Monday.
I hope you enjoy your weekend and that your weather is as nice in Oklahoma as it is here. Talk to you soon.
Sincerely,
Stanley
