The highlights included, stopping at a little farm on the way to Shriner's (Luca needed to check on the animals and make sure they were not fighting- is what he said), and Juliette needed to eat. We had stopped there once before on the way home from Shriner's and I am sure it will become our regular pit stop for the duration of our time here.
Then we got Luca's pink cast off and he got a new one that is blue (purplely blue as Luca calls it, some might call it periwinkle)
Then we went over to our good friends from high school, the Melli's house. They are living in Philly right now for graduate school. They welcomed our weariness with open arms and lots of chips and salsa. Then we walked to a park where Luca got to ride in a big swing and go down the slides. After that we walked to a local brewery/pizzeria. There are street trolleys that went by the brewery so of course Luca, Kristin and I took the train home (just like Basel). This phil and ted double stroller we got has been SO helpful for this trip!
Luca feel asleep in Ben and Kristin's bed and the rest of us had homemade frozen yogurt with strawberries.
It was so good to see our friends and walk around in the city. I have to admit to myself, maybe I am a city girl, at least a little bit.
We left the Melli's pretty late and Luca was up in the night 3-5 am with a foot that hurt in his new cast, but he got pain killers and went back to sleep, eventually. John and Luca are sharing a bed so needless to say John was up too. They are both waking up now at 10:30 am.
