A day in Bonn

Today I went with a couple friends to Bonn- a town a couple hours from here. The original intent of this trip was to see the Haribo factory (that's the gummi candy company in case you didn't know). Well we got to the factory and thought there would be some sort of tour or something, but all we found was a big gummi shop.


So we loaded up with a months worth of gummis then decided to see what else was downtown.
We went to lunch at a little cafe in the town center. Towns in Germany are awesome because cars aren't aloud to drive in the streets of the city center, it's all just shops and people.


Turns out Beethoven lived in the center of Bonn and you can go in and tour his house, so we did that. It was pretty cool. They have a lot of his stuff on display.


Afterwards we went looking for pastries, but it was sooo cold outside we decided to duck into H&M (clothing store) for a min to warm up. Well I was looking at jackets and saw this one that had been thrown on a rack. I picked it up and tried it on and it fit PERFECTLY. I usually can't find a jacket that has the right cut, but this one was perfect and the sleeve length was perfect. Well there was no price tag on it, and I looked all over the store trying to find other ones like it, but they weren't anywhere. So I figured it probably would be around 30 euro and decided to just buy it. Well I went to pay for it and when they rang it up - 9 euro! It was awesome! It was like destiny.
Not a great picture...but that's the jacket.


We followed that up with some chocolate filled pastries then drove home. Not a bad day at all :)
