we're here!!

After our descent into one of the circles of hell (not sure which), we finally made it!

The journey seemed interminable. The kids didn't really sleep, except that Eva dozed for about 3 hours at the very end. Max and Lucas struggled mightily with motion sickness during the last portion of the transatlantic flight, the airport, and shuttle to the apartment portions of our trip. Marc and I managed not to fall victims to their peristaltic chain reaction, but were tired to the core.

Now that we have been here a few days and are getting over the fatigue of the travel nightmare, we are able to smile again.

The first couple of days we just took it easy. The kids and I walked over to see...


...and the lovely park at its base.


Whew! The computer situation here is not as good as I'd hoped, but fortunately Marc brought his laptop and I will have access a decent amount of the time. More to come!

I was worried that all was not the best on the flight since I had not heard anything from you! EEK! Did the boys take anything for motion sickness? Try to relax a bit--no mention on the knee, how is that?

Keep up the blogging!
