We went to Gessler's for most of the day, then went to the sushi restaurant next door cause we knew we needed to try it out if we were gonna take Annelie there for her Christmas present. All you can eat sushi for ten Euros isn't bad at all...and we were so stuffed by the end, it was ridiculous, but so good! No disappointments there, and no food poisoning thus far, so we're content=)
After dinner, I wanted to skype my dad cause today is his birthday and Steph had a skype date with her cousin to keep. It was about 6:30pm. In general, you wouldn't think it would be too much of an issue to find wifi in a tourist town with about eighteen internet cafes in it right? Wrong. Because everything is closed by 6pm.
So here's Steph and I walking the deserted streets of Friedrichshafen. There was a pretty moon out and the area we were in has cobblestone streets, street lamps, we walked down along the waterfront and it was the cutest, quaintest little walk, I loved it! Like walking down mainstreet in Disneyland on a quiet day, after the kidlets have gone.
There were little red glass skylights for the underground parking intermixed in the cobblestone, and we were in just loopy enough of a mood to hop from one to another and make a romantic-looking couple hurry past us awkwardly =D
We finally found internet outside a little chocolate shop with tables out front and even an outlet! On ground level all around us were shops and cafes, and above them, apartments of different colors with shutters and flower-pots. Just very European. If there'd have been snow, it would've completed the scene. I played the twelve days of Christmas by Straight No Chaser just cause it needed to be played and my father wasn't able to get on skype to talk :/
From there, we went back to the train station to catch the last bus home. Lia's been away having Thanksgiving with family in Italy for about a week now, but she came home today, and it just happened to be that we walked into the train station just as she was arriving back there. We rode the bus back together with another group that'd been hanging out in Frieds all day.
Tonight is my night to catch up on some Bible reading for the report that's due soon. It's funny how you always tell yourself you'll stay on track with that sort of thing, but you just never follow through. Oh well..good practice staying up late at least.. Haven't done that in awhile!
Psalm 85:8
I will listen to what God the LORD says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants— but let them not turn to folly.
