altstadt

on wendnesday, meike said i should go to the art exhibit myself, so i figured out the bus route to the hbf and walked from there. i didn´t know it was in the altstadt! it was so adorable! all sorts of fun shops in the bottom of these tut bisch german german buildings on the narrow cobblestone streets. the exhibit was good- downstairs famous pop artists from the 60s then upstairs, their later work and how they influnced later artists. i was more proud of getting there myself than anything else, though. bought some socks at a sock store- fun striped strumpfhosen. but the guz told me to get an enourmous size! i´m going to try and exchange them tomorrow. it was snowing when i left. so beautiful! yesterday when i was looking for a very german thing to do- this is what i was looking for. buying meike a weihnachtskaktus out of a green smelling blumenladen in a halftimbered building and slipping on the cobbelstone street. the german word gemütlich fits much better than cozy or charming or sweet.
