Isn't this just the quintessential German guy? This is what I'm sure many of you out there envision when I say "there was a German guy walking down the street". He's sporting the European look, complete with hat. Walking down the street with purpose and you just can't help but wonder where he's going?
He doesn't have a basket, so he can't be going to the market, I'm sure his little quintessential German wife has already done that at 8AM this morning! {I was busy getting back from the bus stop and drinking my 2nd cup of coffee in my sweats and unwashed hair at that time and wasn't able to get a photo of her, oh well. There's always tomorrow morning!}
My bet is, since it was 2 in the afternoon, he was going to meet his little old German men friends at the pub for some beer and eine swank broten (a roll with pork product on it). I guess I could have acted more like the real paparazzi and followed him to his destination, but I'm thinking he would have noticed me then. Just thinking it could be possible he'd notice some weird American taking pictures of him and following him around. I don't know if that would have been threatening enough to him to call the police or to just mumble "stupid American" and keep going. All I'm saying is I didn't really feel the need to find out his reaction to me, so I left it at 2 pictures and a never answered question of his destination.
Well, just in case you're wondering...this isn't the normal German old man you see. The normal German old man we see in our village is usually topless in George Micheal's wham style shorts, with nurse type shoes and socks pulled all the way up. Topping off the village look, would be the wild grey (on the longer side) hair that looks like it never has gotten brushed, and a lovely (way past) 5 o'clock shadow. I just can't bring myself to post a picture of that. Although with the weather change, I'm wondering if they will break out the 80's track suits here?
