My first Grocery Trip

Grocery shopping is a lot more difficult in a foreign country than it seems. This morning I ran over to the grocery store next door to pick up a few necessities and something to snack on for breakfast. Maybe after a couple german classes it will be easier. It was challenging just trying to pick out a bottle of water.

Let me begin by saying that I was never a big fan of sparkling water. Because I don't understand German I have only picked out a still water bottle once this whole trip, mainly because I asked. So because sparkling water is all I drink now I have actually gotten used to it! The bubbly texture is more normal now, I mean its not as good as a nice cold bottle of fiji water which I could totally use right now but at least its water!

I wanted to also pick up some food to snack one while in my room. So here I am standing in a german grocery store with this whole isle of snack foods right in front of me. A little intimidating and overwhelming seeing as I have no idea what anything is. Until finally I spy some words I recognize. Thank you Pop and Pattie (my grandparents) for taking me and my whole family to Germany 11 years ago because with out the recognition of Hit cookies and Leibniz butterkeks I would probably still be in that grocery store instead of eating them for breakfast! During my two week family reunion trip I think I ate these cookies more than I ate German food. So thank you again!
