Einkaufen, starbucks und Spaß

For those who don't speak German, the title is "shopping, starbucks and fun." 

I barely got any sleep last night, but that didn't stop me from wanting to go explore and of course, shop the day away.

Today was great and although I am still trying to kick whatever little cold I have going, the sun was shining, the weather was wonderful and Gina and I went out for a day of fun in Potsdam.


We started out by having a healthy breakfast with Sylvio. After relaxing from eating, we opted to walk into the city of Potsdam. We could have taken the train but the weather was nice, except really chilly for me. On the walk, I saw many fascinating things. Once again, loving the architecture and scenery over here, I took plenty of pictures.




While walking, we came across my favorite little lake, frozen and covered in snow. I love the area because it is so pretty and hidden. There is so many trees and different things to look at. 
The lake was even more beautiful with the snow lightly dusting the surface. Gina and I thought it would be a perfect spot for our first photoshoot of the day. 





After our little photoshoot, it was time to go find our starbucks so we could warm up. On our way,  I just became more and more mesmerized by the beauty of the little city, so of course I had to take more pictures. 


As we were walking down a main street, I found this gorgeous green wooden door that I fell in love with. It was the entrance into this abandoned red brick building and I knew we just had to take some shots. It was the perfect place for some fierce fashion photos. 

After our photoshoots, it was really time for Starbucks now, so we got a warm chai latte and sat in comfy green chairs while looking out the window and talking. The day was so gorgeous. Everyone was walking  around town. 



After warming up in Starbucks, it was time to go to the mall. We took the train into another part of Potsdam where there was a HUGE mall. From what Gina said, it's small, but it is way bigger than any mall I have been to. There we went into clothing and shoe stores. I found two fabulous dresses from H&M and bought something for Gina. After a little shopping, it was time for food. We chose chinese, and let me tell you, it's different from American chinese fast food, good but different. 



Tired out from all the walking, we headed back into town where I did a little more shopping for my cousin in Turkey, since I will be visiting on Monday. It was 4:30 and already dark out so we made one more stop at another H&M -it's my new addiction- where I bought a really great top for 12 euro, then we headed home. Once at the house we went to the grocery for dinner and then relaxed for the rest of the night. I caught up with the boyfriend and Miranda as well :)

It is close to midnight here so I am off to hopefully get some good rest. Monday is Turkey and I am so excited. Tomorrow all the shops are closed because it is Sunday so Gina and I will have a girls day of beauty and watch a movie. Today was really fun and I can't wait to have more days like this. 
Goodnight moon. XO
