And there was bread

GUTENTAG!

Well, the nice landlady left a beautiful braided sweet loaf at our doorstep this morning. And the man that delivered bread to the shop next door gave Quintin a bag of scones with chocolate chips. We all slept great, got up at 12:00 and left about 15:00 (yes, I'm getting used to telling time) for an agent audition in Dusseldorf which we almost found without a problem except for the 5 minutes we had left to get there and made a terrible wrong turn which took us way out of the way. With more kind German people helping us make our way back we found the agency and parking just around the corner. Thank God they were running behind! When we left the audition (don't call us, we'll call you...) we found an Italian restaurant that was pretty inexpensive and had the best tortellini with cream sauce and salami pizza that the kids and I shared. Grandma will appreciate that Quintin ate both and didn't leave a crumb! We then went to a nearby playground - reminiscent of one in Riverside Park...mothers, strollers and all - where the kids got to play. Of course, Sydney made a friend, Annika, who knew a little English. They exchanged a few words in the others' lanuage and proceeded to have a great time. Well, then we braved a small grocery store. No problem picking out fruit but when it came to milk and luncheon meat I guessed. When we got home Quintin bravely tried the milk and with a big smile, said it was great! Tomorrow, we will explore this little town of Numbrecht and try to relax a little.
