Another bust

Today we went to three different stores to look for a bed.  Two of the stores we had already been to in weeks past and the other store was new to us.  In the end, we found nothing that really jumped out at us.  We can't agree on a bed, and at this point I think I am just done with looking.  Carsten jokingly, or at least I think he was joking, said he wanted to "break my spirit" in terms of finding a bed.  And honestly, after today I feel broken down.  At this point I think I would take any bed, as long as it is more than a mattress laying on the floor, which is what we have now and have had since I arrived in Germany.

Other than the bust in terms of furniture shopping, the rest of the day was quite grand.  In the morning we rode our bikes to the city centre and did some shopping.  It was full of people down there and the city just felt alive.  In the evening after the furniture experience,  Carsten made sweet and sour chicken for dinner (yummy!) and then we watched a popular German television program called Wetten dass..?    It is a pretty entertaining show, even if you don't understand everything that is being said.  Last night's program had some famous people I knew, which always makes it a bit better for me.  

Tomorrow we are planning on going on a small hiking trip, which means pictures!!!  Time to get a good night's rest.
