This morning, after showering and a quick bowl of cereal for breakfast, we drove into downtown Minden. We actually just wanted to check out C&A to find a new jacket for my trade show appearance next month. We ended up finding one—a gray one for twenty euros in the clearance section. I also had three pairs of pants, two T-shirts, a linen shirt, underwear, and socks in my shopping bag. Afterward, we stopped by the farmers’ market and picked up some groceries.
