I tend to take care of a lot of my shopping in Berlin early on, and today returned victoriously with a nice loot 
: got a pair of black Skechers on sale even tho I despise wearing sneaks outside of the gym/playing sports, but I bit the bullet bc I don’t have any proper walking shoes here (well, besides my Docs & a couple of pairs of sandals, but it’s still not really warm enough for the latter). I also got a bunch of cool new tights for myself & as well as my gal pals, who requested I bring some back for them 
, and finally a big, soft, warm grey scarf for scootin’ around town until actual spring temps might arrive….for $20 at that! Score.
We had a lovely lunch at our favorite Thai food truck, which unfortunately made our insides big mad. They, like us, had clearly forgotten just how spicy those dumplings are 
And so, milder fare was in order for dinner. More of that Good German Bread,
German & Italian cheeses & salumi, organic liverwurst
plus the house spread and some baba ganoush from a Turkish deli down the road.
The house spread is made with walnuts, sun-dried tomatoes, various spices & herbs and is very good, the baba ganoush was far too heavy on the vinegar, unfortunately 
My dood was going to leave me all by my lonesome after our dinner to watch some silly sportsing game, but managed to VPN it
