Words

I haven't had a chance to sort through the way-too-many pictures that I've taken, but here's a quick update on the past two days, before we're off to Goerlitz. What's missing in between is the wedding in France, which was delightful. And I'll hopefully have a chance to write more when I post those pictures. Until then, tschuss!

Berlin adventures

The girls each had half the day to spend with each parent. Zach ended up at Legoland all morning with Clara & all afternoon with Molly. I ended up biking around our neighborhood in the morning with Molly, and riding a double decker bus with Clara in the afternoon.

The highlight of the day, though, was a visit with Nat, Maja, & Viola. I've known Nat since before he was born - his parents are close friends with mine. And Maja has been key to helping organize our Berlin stay. The girls were delighted to play with 3 year old Viola, who understands english perfectly, but speaks only in German. They worked it out.

More Berlin

Today, threats of more cold and rainy days turned into beautiful, warm, sunshine! A perfect day for the Zoo. So off we went, debating all the way who could ride on Viola's stroller, etc. The zoo was nice, but by far the biggest hit was the playground. Wow! What a playground. Trampolines! Tire swings! Slides! Climbing things everywhere! A close second for Molly was seeing the Prewalski horse in person. And I think all of the kids also got a kick out of the petting (and feeding) zoo.

The day was capped off with a lovely, simple dinner with Nina, and sending Zach off to get a cultural experience watching soccer with Nat.
