A week ago Sunday, Megan and I hopped over to Cologne to meet up with Mandie and go to the Bon Iver concert at the E-Werk (so good! so full of German hipsters!). It was a Verkaufsoffener Sonntag, so we got to make the unfortunate discovery that Cologne has a lot of nice stores Frankfurt doesn't have (including Muji, maker of my favorite pens). We also rode the little yellow and green Bimmelbahn train around the city (EUR 6, in both German and English, though the degree to which the German commentary was translated into English left a little something to be desired -- "a little something" to the tune of 5/6 of the commentary), drank Kölsch and ate dinner down by the Rhine, and ate leisurely brunch at Cafe Spitz, which, in addition to being in a gorgeous little area of the city and having an excellent summer terrace, introduced us to the glory that is sauerkraut lasagne, which will need to be recreated at home post-haste.
