Market, Maritime, Mealtime

A bit slow this morning getting up and going, but we got to the market in time for what we needed, and more. We got everything on the list and then at the flower stand they offered three bunches of long-stemmed lilies for 5 euros.  Can't pass that up!  And then she threw in an extra bunch for 5 cents!  Dylan asked, What's going on here??  My answer was, end of market.  Sometimes you get lucky at the end of the day.

Then lunch.  We so often have a Wiener Würstchen (hot dog) and potato salad on Saturdays.  It's an easy lunch and we just like it.  Dylan, not so much.  So she had some blueberries and strawberries and the ubiquitous tuna sandwich.  We were all happy.

Off to the Schulschiff!!  This old training ship for the merchant marine lies where the Lesum and Weser Rivers come together.  It's a cool ship, now open for bikers who want to overnight, folks who want to wed, other folks who have a celebration to make, and us tourists.

A quick trip to the supermarket where we got, among other things, more Überraschungseier for Hayden.  Dylan helped get them ready for the customs inspection!

Then it was time to get ready for our dinner with Ilsemarie and Ulli, Klaus and Johanna.  Spargel!

Dylan was happy to have some other company besides Meemaw and Werner and Ilsemarie loves to talk English, so that worked well.

She made a special appetizer for Dylan. Cute!!

And Dylan ate a lot of the soup - an asparagus cream soup.  I'm not really sure she knew what she was eating, but she enjoyed it!

Then it was pizza for Dylan and our wonderful traditional asparagus meal with shaved ham and potatoes.  Delicious, as always.

We old folks sat and talked politics and burial places and upcoming vacations and aches and pains. Dylan was happy to sit with the iPad and be entertained until dessert time.

Strawberries and ice cream.  We all ate our share!

On the way home, she snuggled in the car and when we arrived home at 10:45 I didn't have to say a word.  She was up and in bed before I got myself settled.

Tomorrow:  Last day!  We'll have a nice breakfast, a visit to the Schloss and pack up.
