Day 40 (July 18th)

Woke up and went to our usual corner bakery for breakfast and brought the kids back their food. In the morning the kids played their own version of warhammer in the apartment (Zach is totally into it) while I updated my Blog. We met Al for lunch and went to Lupo’s for Italian food. Zach and Hannah had pizzas, while Al and I split a lasagna (too much cheese) and gnocchi. We walked Al back to her office and got ice cream at the store across the street. The kids wanted to go back to the park we played at the other day, so we headed up to the Hofgarten. We settled in and five minutes later Hannah had to go to the bathroom badly. This was the same thing that happened when we came to the park on Monday. Instead of going to the drugstore and use their bathrooms we found a public WC next to the park. We got back to the playground and the kids played on the rope spider for a while before shifting over to the water pump by the sand box. At first the park was relatively empty but then it slowly filled up with children. It was another beautiful day and the kids played for hours. We all had a great time. Around 5:30 PM we motivated and walked back to the hotel and waited for Al to come home.
YH joined us for dinner and we went to the Shila Korean restaurant that we had eaten at a few times before. Since YH is Korean we let him order and we had another good meal. Zach had the Bogogi (thin sliced beef) but didn’t like it this time. There was another beef dish that we had ordered that Zach liked better. Besides the two beef dishes, I had a spicy soup for an appetizer with a Heferweizen and we ordered a noodle dish and chicken soup dish also. Everything was good and I ate way too much food. We walked around after dinner and stopped at the Rewe to see if they received another shipment of Volvic flavored water. There are many types of water but we all like the Volvic flavored ones the best (e.g. apple, orange, lemon and berry). We bought some water and went back to the apartment. It was still early enough to relax and watch the Gilmore Girls for a while before going to bed. Of course it was after 12:00 AM before it was lights out.
