Tag 8

A school day for Ashley... she has class from 415pm to 545pm. In the morning, Ashley did some laundry and I helped put them out to dry in the sun after they had been washed. I also helped to make and knead some bread that we later baked. 

I walked to Ashley's class with her at the Theologicum and then wandered through town looking for a market to buy cheese at which proved inordinately difficult. There are about 200 clothing shops and not too many normal markets. Eventually I found some natural foods store and got a slice of cheese which turned out to be a ridiculous 6,60 € but I only had 6,10... but they let me have it for only 6 € ...

When Ashley got back we looked at places to stay in Thüringin where the big Thüringin Wald (Thuringian forest) is... Johann von Goethe famously wrote his "Wanderer's Nightsong" there and wandered around. At some point we decided to see the new Indiana Jones movie. When we got there, they happened to be showing it in English. It was entertaining with some funny references to past movies but I thought the ending was unsatisfying so I sat during the credits hoping for something, but lo... We got out of the movie around 1am and waltzed back home to sleep.
