This semester I have decided not to focus on one list, but to experience things as they come to me. I have decided that I will go to German Village, the Columbus Zoo, and the Columbus Museum of Art. Due to growing up in the area I have already visited these locations before, however, I am excited to share these experiences with my friends who come from farther away. So far I have already visited German Village and the Book Loft. This Saturday I will be going to the Columbus Zoo and I am very excited to see what improvements they have made in the last few months. The Columbus Zoo is an ever changing, ever growing establishment within the Columbus area and is always a pleasure to visit. The Columbus Museum of Art is the same way, in that it is always changing. I am excited to see some of the new exhibits there and to be able to show my friends around the area and the museum. I hope to see new things this semester through this experience, and get to know Columbus better.
So far I have already visited German Village with a few friends. The bus ride to and from German Village was not as bad as I expected. Spending half an hour on public transportation sounds very daunting, however it was fun and went quicker than expected. We decided to go to the Book Loft, which we spent about two hours perusing the books and other knick-knacks within the store. My friends both bought books that they were looking forward to reading. Afterwards, we decided to visit the coffee shop next door called Stauf’s Coffee. I got a drink called a Chai-der, a mixture of chai tea and apple cider. It was one of the most delicious things I have ever drank. The whole area is adorable and has a historic vibe to it. I would most definitely return to the German Village area with friends again.
After visiting the Book Loft, we decided some good tea would be needed before we headed back to campus. This is my Chai-der beside my Poe-ka dot socks from the Book Loft.
