Visiting Germany

I just spent a marvelous four days visiting my long-time friend, Isabel, in Germany. She and her husband currently live in a small town close to Nurenberg. While in Germany, I saw beautiful rolling green hills, the River Danube, and an ancient town on the Danube, Regensberg. The stores in Regensberg contained many household items that were new and interesting- kitchen utensils, dishes, storage devices, and novelty items -- and that were superior to any I have seen so far in London.

Isabel and I were focused on making cappuccino - and we both bought milk frothers that can turn straw (Carnation Nonfat Dry Milk) into gold (smooth, creamy, tasty, frothed milk that tastes and feels like light whipped cream) to put in our coffee. I would have bought myself a milk frother in London, but a quick search on the internet revealed that the product wasn't available in London (even though it is available in New York.) So I bought a special converter plug to put on the German frother so I can use it in London. Then, when I return to New York, I'll get one for home.

We both decided we like Germany for shopping. I'll just have to go back and visit Isabel often.
