My parents visited us about a month ago and my mom wanted to make a cameo on the blog! Her blog post is below:
Grocery shopping can be stressful or fun when traveling outside of the U.S. depending upon your attitude.
Struggling with language (easier now, thank you Google Translate), the metric system, and currency requires a sense of humor and a little extra time.
I love the bread in Europe and am pleased to announce that I have not found “Wonder Bread” in any European country. Most bread in not prepackaged, and is crusty, not soft. At 1,45 euro it’s roughly $1.50, making it way less expensive than this same style of bread back home. Plus, it’s fabulous! There is no shame in eating good bread in Europe, in fact I think it’s expected.
We noticed two vending machines near a main street in Brevin and Joelle’s home town. One had Coca Cola, Lipton Ice Tea, water and a few snack bags of chips. The other had loaves of bread (called a Brod Box)!
