Our trip continues as we travel from Nuremburg to Hannover (unremarkable) and then on to Berlin.
My husband is driving us through Berlin to find a specific cafe he remembers. Why can't we stop at that nice, new looking cafe, I ask him. Why can't we stop at that one that looks like it was brought here from Paris? As he drives by a dozen or so cafes that all look nice and warm.
Oh no, he remembers this very special one. I'm cold and hungry, and I am dreaming of a nice cup of hot chocolate in a warm, cozy seat. We drive down a dead end street, we drive to China, and he is still determined to go to that specific, special cafe he remembers.
On one street, every meter (this is Europe - think metric) or so stands a lovely young lady. Each lady is wearing high-heeled white boots that reach all the way to her thigh. I realize they must be selling something. They must be advertising those fancy white boots. They all have very short skirts on, presumably to show off those boots. A couple of the ladies are not even wearing skirts. They are wearing leotards with their boots. Perhaps they just came from a dance class?
There were several men stopping to talk to the white boot ladies. The men must have been buying boots for their wives - how sweet!!!
Even though my husband grew up in Berlin, he kept getting lost, and we kept driving down that same street where the ladies were selling the boots. I asked him to stop so I could get a pair, but he refused. Perhaps he wants to surprise me with a pair for Christmas.
If you travel to Berlin, and you are female - just remember that white boots are all the rage right now. Definitely get a pair and parade them on the street - you will fit in like a local!
We haven't been to Berlin in over 12 years, so when we finally found the 'special cafe', I felt as though I was transported back in time. Back to a time when food didn't have to be good, tables didn't have to be clean and cafes could be cold and drafty.
Lovely
