Have I mentioned how much we love the Williams family? Today Johnita came over and helped me finalize a grocery list and then walked with us to two grocery stores to show us the way and also around the stores.
There is an organic grocery store around the corner from our apartment. It took us all of 2 minutes to walk there. Unfortunately, they were closing. However, the two employees were very kind and spoke English. They let us go in and look around. They don't have everything we need weekly, but they have most things we will need every few days. I plan on going there often. As we were leaving, we thanked the employees and the lady gave us some homemade bread from their bakery as a welcome to Germany gift. She gave us potato bread rolls and croissants. Both are unbelievably tasty. Apparently their produce is all picked fresh daily and they have farm fresh eggs on the table in the back. You pack your own into a carton. We will definitely be going back!
We walked about 10 more minutes toward downtown to the next grocery store. We really felt like we were in Germany then with all the half-timbered houses lining the streets.
*It was rainy when we went, so we took only a few photos during a break in the rain.
This is the second store, Rewe. It is small and a lot like Aldi. You put a coin in to get the basket out, you have to bring your own grocery bags, there is a small selection of most things, but that makes it easy to find what you need.
Johnita snapped the above photo for us and I'm glad she did. Today, getting out of the apartment and walking around, instead of driving, we finally felt like we live in Germany!
