We have had a very fun and adventurous weekend. Saturday night we went to a children's playland with an arcade, carousels, bumper cars and a climbing center. Ed lost (and found) his cell phone in the ball pit. Danny just couldn't decide what to do next. His favorite ride was the bumper cars. He had a grin a mile wide zipping around the track and bumping (or almost bumping) other cars. He had another serving of ice cream to top it all off. I think he ran it off between the rides.
Today we were treated to a picnic in the mountains with Karim, his wife Anna, their infant daughter Linara, and of course, Mika and Danny. After about an hour drive through a road that became bumpier, more narrow and finally gravel, we ended up in a beautiful clearing with a mountain stream and gorgeous wildflowers. We spread out blankets and the kids played while Karim cooked shashlik (shish ka bobs) and Anna chopped fruit and vegetables. Dessert was a watermelon cooled in the mountain stream. Just as we were finished, it started to rain and we rode home a little wet but happy. More tomorrow, Jacqueline

Wow that sounds amazing! It looks beautiful!
Ok, if the kabobs were anywhere near as good as the ones we had there, they were outstanding. If you can, see if you can get me the recipe!
It looks like things are going wonderful and that Danny has bonded well with you guys. Enjoy your last days there for this trip and give him a hug for me.
Take care,
Regina
