Good Day

I had a good day today. Not that that is unusual for me, just always welcome no matter how frequent. This good day is noteworthy, however, because it involved activities, places and people I hadn't seen in over two  years.

I woke up on my friend Sabrina's couch (the friend that came to meet me in Dusseldorf and then graciously let me crash at her apartment when I found myself somewhat homeless) to her roommate, Rene, making breakfast. With a good breakfast and a shower I was ready to hit the town...and desperately search for a new charger for my laptop...which I couldn't find for the life of me (both the original charger and the store selling the new one apply here). No worries though, I was already in a pretty cool part of town (the Marktplatz) so I decided to spend the early afternoon walking around and seeing my old stomping ground.

                                                     I have the coolest stomping ground!

I got a bit peckish so I stopped by my favorite Döner stand where the guys actually remembered me. I'm not sure if that speaks more to my personable nature, or to my poor eating habits. Either way, it was delicious!

Around 1:30 I started to make the long hike up to the university to meet Sabrina after her classes. As it turns out, I grossly underestimated my fitness and got there early enough to grab a coffee in the cafeteria. Which is where I ran into my friends Nico and Daniel! We had a good time catching up and Sabrina and I had a fun, though frosty, time wandering the Wuppertal Weihnachtsmarkt this evening. Oh! And Sabrina helped me find the Applestore I was looking for. I had read the directions wrong and walked right past it on my way to where I thought it was. But hey, it meant I spent the day wandering around in the (relative) sunshine instead of on Facebook, so I'm still going to count it as a win!
