What a Day!

Skip went into downtown Duessedorf today, and as he was coming out the British chain H & M, he noticed quite a crowd at an establishment across the street. Going closer to see more, he discovered that there is now a Dunkin' Donuts in the Altstadt of Duesseldorf. This is one of the two stores (the other being Trader Joes) that I feel would make Little Rock the perfect place to live. If we get one of those in Duesseldorf, I may have to stay. The line was too long for him to pick up a bag of coffee, but it's there for the taking. What a great thing. For those of you who don't know, I ate a Dunkin Donuts chocolate covered donut and a small iced hazelnut coffee almost every day of my pregnancy with Maddie. Have had very few donuts since giving birth, but still LOVE the coffee.

Maddie has friend Lizzie spending the night tonight. They have had the best time. Lizzie is from England, but will be in Germany indefinitely. How odd it will be back in the states when all of Maddie's friends have similar accents.

Skip really blew it on the phone tonight. When calling a hotel in Amsterdam, he asked the woman who answered the phone if she spoke English. To which she replied, "I'm speaking English." Oops!
