Today was a beautiful day. Though it started out cool in the morning, it warmed up quickly. Walking outside at 2:30 saw sunshine and a comfortable temperature. Today was the last day of class orientation in the labs. I had a kindergarten group that was antsy to be up and moving. One little boy kept looking at my toes. He reached out with one of his fingers and rubbed the tip of one of my toes. He looked up at me and said that I had old toes. Hard to continue teaching!
Forcing myself out of the building at 3:30, I drove to the Herrieden exit on Autobahn 6. There is an outlet mall there. Let me explain that outlet malls are rare here. Until a few years ago, prices of objects were firmly controlled. The German stores were allowed to put up sale signs only TWICE a year: once in February and again in July. There were no sales at any other time! Now you see sale signs a lot more. Outlets are becoming more popular as well. Most of them are small. The best thing about this outlet is that the biggest store is Gerry Weber. Gerry Weber is German clothing manufacturer. They also have labels named Taifun and Samoon. I like his clothes. They were having a sale on the outlet clothes. I was able to buy 4 very nice sweater for 70 Euros. That is about 89 US dollars.
After driving home, I had a massage. It was very relaxing and I enjoyed it. It did make me think about the fact I need to find a doctor to write a script for manuel therapy. Massage and manuel therapy are a bit similar in Germany. They both involve moving and rubbing body parts. The manuel therapy though is not relaxing.
After all this, I came home and sat on my patio. In the distance, I was able to watch a duo of hot air balloons dance across the evening sky.
