Shopping in Eindhoven |

Winkelcentrum Woensel - Today we shopped at
the local mall. It' an open mall, with no roof. Had several
of my favorite shops, bookstores! I made some cool purchases.
Dutch still have phone booths, though nothing like the Tardis, they are
still kinda cool looking. |

Wasn' too cold in the afternoon with some sun
out, but as the evening neared, like about 4pm, the chill wind bit.
After getting Annette' pictures developed, we went to McDonald's for
lunch. I asked for a glass of ice water, and got a bottle of
water. I asked for a cup of ice, and got a cup with 1/3 full of
ice. I asked again, for more ice, and got 1/2 a cup of ice. One
more time, asked to fill it up, the lady looked at me funny but I
finally got a full cup of ice. |

Last place was the grocery store. In
front was a man playing the accordian for change. I asked him if
I could take a picture and he was kind enough to agree.
Eindhoven's stores are basically smaller in scale, but offer a good
variety. Didn' see any white bread, but tons of other kinds of
bread, sliced and unsliced.
A lot of stuff is in English. They had cards in English, books,
even Nestle's hot chocolate mix. Thank goodness they have
Coca-cola! However, my sister Christi would be nuts, because they
have absolutely NO Dr. Pepper.

Top dog is Joeran, a Berner
Sennen, her official name is Zilla van de Watering. She's 10 years old
and that's pretty old for that type of dog, but she's beautiful and
sweet. The smaller dog is Spotty, younger and more fiesty, Spotty
always wants to play. While I was visiting Annette I would sit at her
computer desk and they would curl around my feet. Made me miss my own
dog, Ditto. Annette has since moved from her shared apartment in
Eindhoven to her own place and may even move again to Haarlem.
