Life as I know it…

Oh! I almost went to bed without blogging today! Oopsy!

I had a million errands today and a bunch of really good things happened. But now it’s too late to share them all.

I will just share a crazy part of living in Europe. It’s the shopping carts!

You have to have a coin (normally .50 or one euro) which you place in the slot, push in the holder (like at a laundromat), then you can pull the cart away.

I hope this makes some visual sense!

To get your Euro back, you reverse the process. The first time I did this I was all in a wad that I had lost my euro!

Also the baskets are four wheel steer! That my friends, is hard on the back! It may be typical in big cities to take shopping carts in elevators, but until I moved to Europe, it was a totally foreign concept for me!

Now I understand that shopping cart and elevator can be friends.

And finally (before I go to bed), please comment!!

I hope to share more with you tomorrow!
