Today I met with Ilka in Köln. We had a fun day, started off with some coffee at the nearest Starbucks. [There are 5 Starbucks coffee shops in Downtown Köln now – so we could easily have done some “coffee shop hopping”… well, we kind of did :)].
We went shopping for a little bit, had a yummy lunch at 4 cani della citta and later we had more coffee at Starbucks again :) I also bought the Cologne Starbucks mug, one of the Starbucks CityMugs Collectibles as a souvenir to take to LA :) Very nice and BIG mug! It was a fun day [and thanks for distracting me, Ilka]!
Now I am getting ready for the “big day”. Tomorrow I am going to have my Green Card interview at the American Embassy in Frankfurt. I have to admit, that I am a little bit nervous. I don’t really know what is going to happen there and I can only hope that I will have all the documents they need and all the answers that they want.
We’ll leave pretty early, so I’ll go to bed now. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
