Saturday, October 3

It was a super windy day. An umbrella would not keep me from the rain that whirled up to touch my face. The nip in the air was bone touching. There was a little tree blown down by the Europa Hotel {this is the most bombed hotel in Europe}. Abbey and I went to lunch at a Baptist Church who invited the international students to come and visit. We had very spicy chili with rice. We also had apple pie! The funny thing about food here is everything tastes slightly different. So the apple pie was good, but the crust was more of a cookie {unsweetend} type of thing, not a lighter crust. We went shopping. I needed some shoes that would keep my toes warm. I also got a belt and a new shirt. Had a late night desire for pint of cider in the Duke of York. It is a cute ½ outside bar in a little alleyway. It defines a wee Irish pub. The day was topped off with a yummy plate of Chinese noodles!
