The First Few Days

 We live right next to the Grunewald,  in Dahlem (has the red A).  It is literally a 1 minute walk and we are in a huge forest. It is pretty amazing.


Since we were all really, really, jet lagged we decided to eat out. This little gem is right next to our house.  The food was AMAZING, but really expensive.  It is nice because the outdoor seating area was in the back of the restaurant and went straight into the grunewald forest.  There were a bunch of families eating there and so while the adults ate and visited the kids played soccer/ran around in the forest.  It made for a really relaxing dinner. 
 Chris speaks German really well but  it was an upscale restaurant and even he couldn't decipher the menu.  So I just picked something and hoped for the best . . . I was completely shocked when they brought out my meal and it was an ENTIRE LARGE PIZZA.  It was a little embarrassing, I felt like a total pig.  But even more embarassing was that we were all starving and managed to polish it all off, plus 2 large servings of Schnitzle (breaded and fried pork), a loaf of french bread, and a large bowl of spaghetti.

Yea! You guys made it! Talk about horror story for your flight! You sure know how to travel my dear... I'm so excited to hear all about your German adventures! The kids keep asking when Hallie and "Brookely" are coming to visit again and when we can go see you. Sigh... we should move to Europe... Miss you!

This totally looks like all he outdoor caves and restaurants in Kiev, except a lot more expensive, sounds like. :)
