First German Sunday

We tried to go hiking yesterday. There really isn't much to do on Sundays besides hiking and having cake and coffee. It's very much a family day. Ben and I tried to go out for a hike in the early afternoon, but it was cold and rainy. We managed to get out later in the afternoon for a walk. It was beautiful even though it started hailing while we were out.

This view. I decided that I need to come 

up here every morning.

And on our way back, we found closet in a trash pile! Isn't it great?

The doors were crooked and didn't quite close and it's missing a back, but look at those handles! We were still a good 20 minute walk from the apartment, so we had to carry it to the tram station. Can't say it didn't make me miss having a car. Kind of awkward to carry a closet onto public transportation.

Coffee and Kuchen (cake) is a Sunday tradition. Bakeries are pretty much the only thing open on Sundays. Ben and I walked to one nearby and got some cake. There was quite a line.

Raspberry and Popeye-seed 

It was too late for coffee, so we just had cake. I think the raspberry might have been my favorite. MMmm so good!

I have to post two more pictures. Lots of people have heard how meticulous Germans are about recycling. I'm still getting the hang of separating everything, but I learned about glass recycling yesterday for the first time. Glass recycling is separated by color: white, green, and brown. There's an uncle of mine that I think would appreciate this.

 Also, no recycling on Sundays. Oops. Like anyone follows that rule....
