Excellent day!

A break from the heat and we both woke up early. Joan made the fruit salad for tonight's dinner while I worked on some Spanish exercises and we were done by 10:00. It was so nice outside I suggested we go out for breakfast and she agreed. We thought first about the rynek but with all the clouds in the sky also thought it might rain at any moment so we decided on Drukarnia, an indoor restaurant. The best way to describe it is that it was an old place for printing copies but is now a restaurant. Joan calls the interior style "Industrial" because there is little on the walls, the floor is concrete and very little in terms of decoration. However, the food is good, they bake their own bread and the service is good.

Joan chose an egg sandwich for breakfast  and I, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, olives, tomatoes and chorizo. An hour later, when we were finished, we walked back to Plac Wolno艣ci where are car was parked underground, and went to the cafe in front of Empik for another coffee. So far, I like this place the best for their taste of coffee and it's cheap, 5 PLN for a small cup. We sat for a while in comfortable chairs and then went to Carrefour to search for replacement pots for the kitchen. We have had the old ones for 11 years and they are worn out. The ones Joan liked were out of stock so we will check again on Thursday when we go food shopping.

Cousin Marilyn from Michigan informed me that she and the Dittenber family will be arriving in Berlin, August 17th,  renting a car and then driving to the Slupca area for the wedding of cousin Nora Bekalarek on the 18th.

 Przerwa od upa艂u i oboje obudzili艣my si臋 wcze艣nie. Joan robi艂a sa艂atk臋 owocow膮 na dzisiejszy obiad, podczas gdy ja pracowa艂em nad kilkoma 膰wiczeniami z hiszpa艅skiego i sko艅czyli艣my ze wszystkim do godziny 10:00. Na zewn膮trz  by艂o tak mi艂o, 偶e zasugerowa艂em, 偶eby艣my poszli na 艣niadanie i Joan zgodzi艂a si臋. Najpierw my艣leli艣my o Rynku, ale by艂o troch臋 chmur na niebie i my艣leli艣my, 偶e deszcz  mo偶e spa艣膰 w ka偶dej chwili, wi臋c zdecydowali艣my si臋 na restauracj臋 wewn膮trz  Drukarni. Najlepszym sposobem na opisanie tego jest to, 偶e kiedy艣  by艂o to miejsce, gdzie  drukowano kopie, a teraz jest restauracja. Joan nazywa styl wn臋trza "industrialem", poniewa偶 na 艣cianach prawie nic nie ma, pod艂oga jest betonowa i niewiele  pod wzgl臋dem dekoracji. Jednak jedzenie jest dobre, piek膮 w艂asny chleb, a obs艂uga jest dobra.


Na 艣niadanie Joan wybra艂a kanapk臋 z jajkiem, a ja jajecznic臋 z pomidorami, oliwkami, pomidorami i chorizo. Kiedy sko艅czyli艣my godzin臋 p贸藕niej,  wr贸cili艣my na Plac Wolno艣ci, gdzie mieli艣my samoch贸d zaparkowany pod ziemi膮, i pojechali艣my do kawiarni naprzeciwko Empik na kolejn膮 kaw臋. Do tej pory lubi臋 to miejsce najlepiej za smak kawy i cen臋: 5 z艂 za ma艂y kubek. Siedzieli艣my przez chwil臋 w wygodnych fotelach, a potem poszli艣my do Carrefour, by szuka膰 garnki do kuchni. Stare mamy od 11 lat i s膮 zu偶yte. Te, kt贸re Joan lubi艂a, by艂y niedost臋pne, wi臋c sprawdzimy ponownie w czwartek, kiedy przyjdziemy na zakupy artyku艂贸w spo偶ywczych.

Kuzynka Marilyn z Michigan poinformowa艂a mnie, 偶e ona i rodzina Dittenber贸w przyb臋d膮 do Berlina 17 sierpnia, wynajm膮 samoch贸d, a nast臋pnie pojad膮 do S艂upcy na 艣lub kuzynki Nory Bekalarek 18 sierpnia.
