Two Gentlemen in Münster: Ein schönes Wochenende

On Saturday I went out into the city looking for the cafe we would be meeting at on Wednesday, the Münster Büro, and to check out the Wochenmarkt. I was actually proud of myself for building up enough courage to ask some people on the street where the Münster Büro was. However, three of the four people I asked didn't know and I muss have misinterpreted the directions from the other. I was happy that all but one group of people answered me in German, although I could see the smirk on one of the guy's face when I start saying, "Könnten Sie mir bitte sagen,..."

I then met with four other people on our trip, Kirk, Pheobe, Nick, and Eve. We went out to do, well, more exploring. First we headed to Karstadt first because Nick needed to buy a few things. Then we headed out to find Marktcafe, Sunday's meeting place so I was able to help direct us there. It was then decided that we should stop for some Kaffee or Tee or, in my case, Kakao. However, Marktcafe was deemed to expensive so we sent out to find a different cafe and stumpled upon "Der burnte Vogel".

To end the day, we ended up going to Karstadt...twice. First we were almost out of the city a couple of them announced that they needed to go to the bathroom. Back to Karstadt. Then as we were leaving again, we realized that we had gone out the wrong way. Back into Karstadt. This time though we had the pleasant surprise of running into Herr und Frau Steding.

On Sunday, Marcus came over to visit for a bit. In that time I was able to boil milk on to the stove and making a mess and then go on to beat Marcus at chess. So everything evened out. :-)

At 2 we took the bus into the city for Kaffee und Kuchen with the Stedings and the rest of our group. Afterwards, I walked around with Nick taking pictures of different buildings around Münster.
