For lunch, Eileen made us delicious stir-fry. I dropped by the ATM to pick up some money. We went shopping for groceries in the afternoon at a nearby store called Kupsch. The stores here are much smaller and carry fewer goods than the grocery behemoths of the United States. You must also bring your own shopping bags. In addition, an atypically large number of places do not accept credit cards.

Recovering from jet lag, Tracy and I took a long nap when we returned. In the evening, we went to the Christmas market, located in the center of town, shopping for various Christmas presents, drinking hot glühwein (glowing wine), and munching on roasted almonds. Eileen left a little early to go to her photography class. When she returned, we went to visit Chris and Sarah, for dinner. We chatted and had chicken fajitas and cake. After dinner, we returned to the apartment to relax and watch a movie before heading to sleep.
