Sunday was Scott's last day of the show so we had breakfast and then I sat in a cafe for awhile and read with Linda's nook. Later I took some pictures of the guys playing chess. We love that guys with the cigarette hanging out of his mouth. He seems to draw a crowd so he must be a fierce player.
I sat with Scott at the show for awhile. He was walking around the show and I had this odd conversation with a guy who wanted to buy one of World Coin DVDs:
Guy, holding up the dvd: "How much?"
Me: "Um, 15 francs."
Guy: "I was thinking more like 22 or 24 francs."
Me: "Well, my husband told me 15 francs would be about right."
Guy, frustrated and thinking I was not all there: "Would 20 francs be OK?"
Me: "Yes! Perfect!" I just got 5 bonus francs for seeming stupid! woo-hoo! I am a hard core negotiator!
After the show was over, we headed down to Paradeplatz in search of a hearty meal. I'd had two croissants for the entire day and was ready to chew my arm off. We ended up at Zeughauskeller for bratwurst and beers as big as my head!
It was in an old armory and the atmosphere was amazing. They sat us at a table with other people. There was self-serve bread at the table...just one piece was as heavy as an apple in your hands. Scott got the classic veal bratwurst and I got pork/beef sausage with gravy (reminded me of some U.P. cuisine ... sort of a combo of Ralph's italian deli and a touch of Beef-R-Roo). Soooo good.
Later, we got ice in an ice cream shop that can only be described as "mod." While as a designer I loved the decor, for me it wasn't screaming for ice cream, it sort of screamed "hair salon of the future!"
