Thin Places, Thick Places (Series)
Day 29
Day of chill
Today was a day of chill. I don't mean cold. It was a day to not leave the abode until about 9:30am, walk to the grocery market/bakery, and then walk around a bit. No trains, no crowds, no chaos.
The market is about 200m away and I think the whole town passed through there this morning. It wasn't busy. Tiny town. AND they don't refrigerate their eggs. FYI.
The breakfast in the market bakery was either sugary baked goods or sandwiches. Score for Ms. A, Miss I, and Agent Shades. I'm still trying SO hard to resist all breads and sugar. That stuff is like crack to me. Seriously. Once I start, I can't stop. Still....resistance is feeling futile. Not sure how long I can withstand.
After grabbing, and dropping off at the airbnb, some basic groceries and snacks for today and tomorrow's breakie, we headed out for a little walk.
The town, at 10:30am, was VERY VERY quiet. I felt incredibly conspicuous with my clomping and loud 8 year old doing what she does, which is, well, LOUD. The town felt (did not look) post-apocalyptic. I expected zombies to pop out from around the next corner.
I realized, today, how much I adore texture. There are so many various textures to mesmerize me here in Germany. The buildings pull me into a historical fantasy of my imaginings. Each building has a story to tell and I want to hear it.
After roaming we headed out of town, on foot, to the (apparently) famous Glasmanufaktur Harzkristall. It's a glass manufacturing plant/museum/tour/shop. VERY cool. They even had free candy for kinders (kids). Miss I was elated. As IF she isn't getting enough sugar...sigh.
Tomorrow, back to the train station where we will grab my son and we shall ALL head to Munchen (Munich).
To be continued...
