Our time in Pittsburgh ...

We had a great time in Pittsburgh even though the ending did not go exactly as planned, and the time went by too fast.  We visited with some friends but not everybody we wanted, we enjoyed playground and pool time, gone fishing, did homework and some yard work.   

One week in America

We've been in the States for a week now ...  no specific order.  We are on vacation but life is just easier here The washers are bigger which means I can do laundry in under 2 hours instead of 5.  The restaurants are bigger and the amount of food served is plenty. It rained every single day and the humidity is horrible. Air conditioning is everywhere and it's cold everywhere! English is spoken everywhere - surprise, right ... Here is the weird part - people want to talk to me and chit chat.  I spoke to more people I've never seen and will never see again like at the playgrounds, stores, etc.  I guess people are just friendlier :)  Kids need to supervised.  I love that in Germany I can send them to park on their own; here - not so much.  Waiting for a school bus to arrive is not fun. Stores are seemingly always open.  2 out of 3 musketeers :)
