United States 2013 - Part 3

Bowling Green

Tuesday - September 3rd 2013

Today we left our friends in Columbus and drove to Bowling Green, where we studied in 2007. After a two hours drive, we arrived at the Hampton Inn hotel and checked in. The hotel was better than expected and offered even an indoor pool and breakfast. At first we had to change rooms, because we wanted a non-smoking room, but the second one was fine, very clean and spacious.

After we dropped our luggage off, we had lunch at Chipotle, because we really missed that fast food restaurant all the years. Claudia and I decided to get a vegetarian burrito with a cold beer and it was still as good as it was in 2007. Later it was time to see our old University campus. Although a lot has changed, it felt like we had never left. We got some college merchandise and then we walked to the town center, where we had a cup of coffee at Panera Bread, one of our favourite places when we lived in Bowling Green.

Back at the hotel we got into our car and drove to the local supermarkets. Since there was a Subway at Walmart, we had a sandwich for a little snack. Although I had been to theses shops many times before, I was still amazed how huge Walmart and Meijer stores are and especially what you can buy there. The frozen goods section had nearly the size of a regular supermarket over here. Then we had to get ready for the evening, because a good friend and her family invited us for dinner at their house. We spent a lovely evening with them and around 11:00pm we were on our way back to the hotel, but before we had to stop at Walmart and Meijer again, because at home you can't shop during the nights.
