Quiet Day in Aalen

Trying to catch up as much on my blog today ... i am basically 2 days behind and i doubt i will have much time to write anything from here on out as i head to Memmingen today for a practise and tomorrow i head to London,England where i am sure things will get really crazy :)

So 2 days ago i woke up here in Aalen probably around noon , i am staying at Rainers house and he is sleeping so i am blogging just as i am now . When he finally woke up we decided to go out for a bite to eat so we wandered into the city center and grabbed a coffee then went to get some Aalener Spionle cakes MMMM !!! Then we went to the supermarket and i raided the Ritter bar display buying roughly 30 chocolate bars all to send home in a care package ... yeah i know 30 chocolate bars i must be crazy ! Ritter is one of my girlfriend and my own favorite chocolates , the ones back home just don't taste the same and are roughly $3.50 for 1 bar ...over here i paid 80 euro cents for each one :) can't help getting a good deal .

We go back to Rainers place to drop off all my goodies and i begin to pack them in a box to send home and we find out it will cost me roughly 45 euros to send 10 kg in a box ... so i pack my dirty laundry in , at this point i can start weeding out the stuff i have to bring to London etc... trying to make my bag lighter and make more room in case i find more stuff to buy in my last week here . We chill out for a bit then decide to go grab a kebab down the street .

After we have our meal we head over to Coban's Irish Pub is right next door , it is bingo night and in order to play you must drink :) when you buy a beer you get a bingo card so we had 4 beers before bingo started and began to play ... just as usual i win nothing and the jackpot goes untouched . Servet owns the bar there and we have met on many occasions when i have passed through Aalen , we have stayed in touch through Facebook and when we meet we have a warm welcome vodka shot . As i am getting comfortable i notice Freddy is here .... we met Freddy last time i was here in January and had one really crazy night out and of course we stayed in touch . He was not feeling too good but stuck around as long as he could while he watched Rainer and myself pour alcohol into our systems (again!) .

I took pictures but have yet to upload them and i promise i will make a few blog posts when i am home next week with tons of pictures to highlight this trip ..... reality is starting to kick in that this trip is coming to an end .... some crazy times about to come though .
