Somewhere on our white sofa...

Another Sunday behind us and we are sitting on our white sofa, enjoying being at home and don't have to travel. Well, it will start again, but it was a nice change to stop and just look around, without being part of the crazy world. We couldn't though just sit and do nothing as Pedro would say that I am hyperactive and won't let him in peace for couple of hours, so he took me to a trip to Freiburg. Freiburg is a really nice German university town, approx. 70km from Strasbourg with a great catheral, old town and a nice walk to the Freiburg "castle", where you have a great view all over the city. But the main reason we went there was a coffee, which Lenka had to have for a long time already - these cravings which don't go away until you satisfy them:) . It was not a coffee per say, but a lovely cafe latte, which Pedro - as a proper Portuguese - calls hot milk. Well French have really no idea, how to make this tasty hot milk, so you have to go to Germany to get it. And what a fantastic surprise, when we arrived to this town and saw.... oh yes! Starbucks cafe :) For you who knows us, you remember our forever discussions about Starbucks. Is Starbucks this devlish place, the factory for bad and expensive coffee or a place where you can enjoy different tastes, with nice sofas and a nice vanilla latte :) I guess we are just different! But Lenka couldn't resist - of course. Perfect!

So we have spend a nice lazy Sunday in sunny Freiburg, calling friends, thinking about future, drinking "fantastic" coffee and realizing that everything is perfect and we do need more days like this in 2009. So enjoy your Sundays, or any other days in 2009, get a nice coffee, tea or glass of wine or whatever you enjoy and have fun! Crazy travels will start soon, so we will let you know how we are coping. Next stop - Czech Republic, seeing friends and most of all coping with all the bureaucracy of changing Lenka´s surname and her documents - well, definitely an adventure. Have a great week!
