Days 14 and 15

Yesterday (Sunday) was a very quiet, rainy Father's Day here in Radolfzell. We stayed around our place all day, only venturing out to walk bunny in his stroller. We did make a special dinner, though - burritos made with ground pork. Therese was ecstatic to see the tortillas, which is one of her favorite foods at home. She ate like a champ, downing the meat and cheese.

I asked Birger, our German roommate, if they celebrate Father's Day in Germany. He said that they do, but he doesn't know when it is. He said the celebration usually involves the dads filling their "wagons" with alcohol and going off to camp and drink. I asked, "So they don't celebrate or get together with their families?" "No." I think Todd would have enjoyed this kind of a Father's Day. I described our typical Father's Day activities in the US - namely, eating brunch or grilling out with the family - and Birger replied, "Oh yeah, that's how we do Mother's Day." Nice. So the guys go camping and get drunk, the mothers get to eat brunch...

Today (Monday) Therese and I walked to the store, came home, and then took bunny on a walk in his stroller to the drink store (what is like a liquor store in the US only half of the store is filled with normal non-alcoholic drinks like water and Coke and juice - Germans have a thing for buying drinks). This means that Reese walked her stroller for the entire 15-20 minute walk to the store (she moves a little slowly) and half of the way back. Good use of energy. We then turned right around (after dropping bunny off) and walked to the CDC to meet Todd for lunch. After lunch, a walk back home. After a busy day of walking here and there, Therese is now taking a well deserved nap :-). Hopefully she'll sleep for a while.
