Skylar and I will be spending five months (May - October) in Heilbronn, Germany with as much additional travel as we can. Here I will post updates and pictures from our adventures.

28 Juli - Healthy ingredients

I was supposed to go back to the police station with the form I got on Saturday, but after speaking with Diana, I didn't really have any more information to give the officer, so I didn't go. I had some other errands to run as well, but couldn't quite motivate myself.

I did get to the grocery store however. I want to make some healthy snack bars, so I went to the store with intentions of buying things like wheat germ, flax seed, Omega-3 oil, and other healthy ingredients. I wandered around in circles from the grains to the cereals to the spices to the cooking section and got things that seemed to be of a more healthy nature. I was unable to find flax seed or honey, so I got marzipan and quinoa instead. I am not sure marzipan is completely healthy, but I needed something with stickiness and that was all I could find. Don't they have honey bees in Germany? When I got home I babelfished the ingredients I bought and was quite proud of myself with my choices.

I know I talk about all the crazy crap we eat, but I still try to maintain somewhat of a healthy diet. Something about the food or the water here is just not agreeing with my skin, hair, or body. I miss Whole Foods.

When Skylar got home, we rode the bus to town to get him a new backpack and a hair cut. The girl didn't really speak English so well, but I managed to get a couple inches cut off Skylar's hair. Still not as short as I wanted, but it looks much better. I just don't see how he wants all that hair in this heat. At least with mine, I keep it pulled up and usually braided off my neck all the time. We finally found a decent backpack for a somewhat decent or at least more decent price. It has a laptop pocket and is a bit bigger than the other one.

It has been so hot and muggy here lately. I must say I really do miss my air conditioner. I miss my dishwasher too.
