Monday, I relished my last day in Germany spending it in the city with Rudolf and Molly. First stop was the harbor for a boat ride on the Elbe River.
At Rudolf's designated point, we hopped off and bought cherries from a fruit stand. The three of us sat on a bench in the shade lining the water, tossing our cherry pits and stems behind us...another "this is my life" moments. We walked along the water past beautiful houses...
...and beachy shores, stopping for lunch at an outdoor cafe on the water to try herring for the first time. Loved it! But then again when it comes to food, there isn't much I'll say "no thank you" to.
Back on the bus, we headed to the region of Blankenese (literally translates as "shiny nose"). There, we sipped cappuccinos, enjoyed a breathtaking view of the water...
...and strolled around what reminded me a lot of Granada with stacked white houses on coastal cliffs.
Our final destination was to Jo and Torben's apartment, where we ate a dinner of brown bread with assorted cheeses and meats. We said goodbye and Jo made me a nannying job offer for next summer in Hamburg. Jo similarly offered me baby Julia's nannying services for my children in fifteen years or so. Looks like my family planning was just given a timeline!
