After practicing in the morning, I had lunch and bought a streudel, which I managed to have both after lunch and after dinner.

Then I ran into Rachel who invited me to join her in shopping, which eventually led to our encounter with a big walking international snowman advertising a new costume shop.

The snowman pointed us in the direction of the costume shop where we found a cocktail booth selling sodas and alcoholic beverages. I didn't partake, although Rachel ordered a coke and was given a cup of champagne in return.

"All drinks only 50 cents."

In the middle of the day I played the role of rehearsal pianist/coach for some Britten and Weil. I enjoyed the opportunity to run a small rehearsal. The Britten has some HARD stuff. Hard for working on it after only a few days that is.

Here is a picture of David savoring a chocolate covered cone with coconut ice cream.

I got the same thing, but by the time I took my picture, I had gotten this far with it...

Other flavors of ice cream to try out later...

I borrowed David's nail clipper and accidentally dropped it out on the roof of the window as I was discarding nail sheddings. That gave me an opportunity to look out and tape the outside. Like much of Freiberg, it looked very pictoresque.
