Acclimation

When I talked with Kevin last night, he mentioned that he had experienced a bit of culture shock in New York. He went to the local Wegman's to stock up on groceries but quickly became overwhelmed and had to leave! He said he was kind of tired, and the size of the store and the myriad of choices were just too much for him. Our local grocery store in Gjøvik reminds me a lot of Aldi's--small and dingy with the cans and boxes of food still sitting in their shipping cartons. (Of course if the prices were similar to Aldi's, I wouldn't complain, but alas, they are not.) Personally, I am excited about bright, spacious super markets with attractively presented food, but I will make sure that the first time I go to Wegman's I am well rested and mentally prepared for the food extravaganza within!
(At least we won't have to adjust to a new climate--Kevin said it is really cold and it even snowed in New York yesterday.)
