SHOPPING DAY!
Monday, June 24, was our last full day in Germany. I had already planned for it to be a shopping day so we could buy some gifts for our family back in the States and just browse through the fun shops and stores. Because it was so incredibly hot out, we gave my aunt the option of staying home ... but as feisty and healthy as she is, she insisted on going with us - and I am SO glad she did!! We have so much fun with her.
We first went to a department store that has been in Frankfurt forever: C&A ... there we found a shirt for my husband, and Anna found a t-shirt as well. We also got a few toys for little sister. We strolled on down the Zeil, the pedestrian shopping district of Frankfurt, stopping by a drug store and a few other places.
We stopped for some water/drinks at a coffee shop/bakery chain called Tschibo .
Tschibo (kind of like Aldi, if you are familiar with it) carries not only coffee and baked goods, but they also have miscellaneous specials on all kinds of items like bedding, outdoor equipment, and clothing! We got some t-shirts and clothes, and Anna got an art set.
We ended our downtown shopping at Hugendubel, a bookshop that has been around since 1893. My aunt bought Dan a lovely coffee table book about Frankfurt - in English. Anna found some books and souvenirs for herself, her sister, and some friends. I also got a Frankfurt t-shirt.
For lunch we rode the subway to Nordwest-Zentrum, a shopping center in another part of town. We ate at my favorite fish chain: Nordsee. We got little fish sandwiches and fries that really hit the spot! We might have done more shopping - but other than a stationery shop near the fish restaurant, we had no more energy ... and we went back to the apartment to take a nap!
Our evening together was very special and deserves a post all of its own, which will be part 13....
