Andrin meets the Wolff(s) in San Francisco

What a relaxing, fun, just wonderful weekend! We had planned to visit our dear friends, Kirsten and Gilad, a month ago, but then Papi had to travel to Switzerland for his presentation. It turned out that it was better since it gave Kirsten and Gilad time to unpack their boxes and get some work done in their house. They were happy to see us this weekend ... it gave them an excuse not to work on their projects (they are still in phase 0 = not yet ready for the housewarming party). We tell you, these two are quite ambitious ... but their house is beautiful. If they would not be our friends, we would give them a thirty day notice to move out!
Andrin loved the flight to San Francisco, even though the flight was delayed. This gave him more time to see all the airplanes at the airport in Eugene. He knew what to call them and that they go up in the air. During the flight, he was quite happy, and we were busy keeping him occupied with books, animals, ... He fell asleep for about the last 20 minutes of the flight, even though he was fighting it.
As you will see, we just had a good time exploring Kirsten and Gilad's new neighborhood (it gave them a chance to discover it as well:), playing on playgrounds, having coffee in coffee shops, catching up, baking Zopf, living Kibbutz-style and ... chasing the cats.
Thanks so much, Kirsten and Gilad, for having us!! We are looking forward to our camping trip this summer!

We went to the playground for Andrin ... or someone else?

Beautiful view from Kirsten and Gilad's home. You can even see the Golden Gate bridge in the distance from their living room ...

Enjoying some coffee/milk with Papi.

What a breakfast table ...

This is when all the drama around the duck started ...

Where did it roll to?

Everybody looking for the missing wheel ....

Wondering where Andrin was? He was sleeping in the stroller!

What a beautiful couple!

Another playground. It was rather windy and cold!

It did not help that there also was a monster or something like that on the playground roaming around freely!

But the playground had a beautiful view!

The grill master is hiding ... Delicious chicken for dinner!

Andrin enjoyed his new friends, Gilad and Kirsten!

Fun with "Ente," until it got sick and had to go to the hospital due to a broken leg ...

Where are they? Andrin on his quest to find the cats ...
