Gütersloh, Germany - 15th April 2009

By: AnjaM

A Day in the City -  and my new friends

Hi Mommy,

well, you know what happened in Gütersloh?

I told Wusch the frog and Garry the duck of my adventures as a toy voyager, and now they are toy voyagers, too, and they travel with me and Anja!  :D

And we did not only eat and drink in Gütersloh, we also went shopping and saw something of the city.

First we went to a place called Hornbach, a home improvement store.

They have everything for the house - building materials, bathroom fixtures, paint etc. and even plants. This is what we came for: plants for the balcony. They have such lovely plants, we felt as if we were in a beautiful park.

They even had T-Shirts, but they were not in our size, unfortunately

After the home improvement store, we went downtown

and Anja took a good swig from a bottle of lemonade, it was a very warm day

We got to see some nice houses

That day, it was market day, so we went to the market.
They had everything - fruit, vegetables, German asparagus (German people eat the white version), dried fruit, nuts, and even socks and household goods.

When we got home, we unpacked all our purchases

and then we had a nice dinner of Wurstebrei (also called Stippgrütze, a Gütersloh specialty made of ground meat, spices and a kind of grain. It is usually eaten with potatoes)

First I was not so sure about that stuff, but it is actually quite delicious!

Oh, and Anja bought a new purse, big enough to hold us toy voyagers!!!  :D It was on sale in the city, and we find it very comfortable!

What an exciting day!

And what nice new friends!
Garry and Wusch are now travelling with me and Anja!  :D
