Conscientious Shopper

Didn't get to the email or blog yesterday, as the GI offered an excursion to the Olympic Park in the afternoon, and a couple of us from my class went. It dawned on me after we got there that most of the people in the group weren't even born yet (1972), so the references to the terrorist activity were lost on them. The tour was all in German, and served to show me how much I HAVEN'T learned. But it was a beautiful day ... if a little warm ... and was a nice time walking around.

As I am in increasing need of a haircut, I asked the Guest Master about where one can get such... he told me they're cheap over by the train station. So, as I was coming back from the Olympic Park excursion, I came through the main train station to investigate further. The shops I found ranged 8-10 dollars (euro). Today after lunch I went through one of the department stores and found electric clippers for 7.99. I bought the clippers ... after this first haircut they will have paid for themselves. I hope our Business Office takes note that I am spending wisely.

With only one more week to go here in Munich, I need to start looking toward the next phase of the adventure. That will start with validating the Eurail pass and investigating the timetable for travel to Eichstätt, then confirming my arrival with the Abbess there.

In the meantime, I have irregular verbs ...
