Dinner in Cologne

We found ourselves in Cologne, Germany, on Saturday and felt utterly compelled to procure our supper from the grocery store next to our hotel. It's too bad our foreign food market obsession couldn't wait until morning, because we really wanted to title this post "Engrish Breakfast." Alas, it was not to be.

We settled on a cup of aloe yogurt and some Corny free snack bars. The Emmi brand of yogurt--it's produced in Austria--is actually available in America, but only in tamer flavors. The above cup tasted like vanilla with gelatinous chunks of neutral flavor mixed in--basically, not like body lotion. We dug it.

As for our 24 hours in Cologne, they were great. We sped out of the airport in record time and got off the S13 train at the main station. The Dom was staring us down right there, so we crept inside for a peek--you might as well if you're there. The rest of our day was spent wandering around and record shopping (tip: if you're looking for records, the area around Hansaring station is a great starting point). More on our favorite store in Cologne is coming soon.

By the way, we only cheated the train ticket honor system twice. Are you proud or are you proud?
