Summer on Thursday!

We woke up to not only sunny weather but warmer as well! We might even get to wear shorts today! We hope to check out the beach as well. The only other thing we wanted to do was take a tour of the Dom. The boys tried to arrange it but the guide couldn't speak enough English. Len assigned 2 of his students to arrange it but they forgot. It's no big deal to them because they can see it in the remaining weeks they are here but this is our last day. Maybe we'll try to do it with just the 4 of us when Len returns from class.
Lindsay emailed us that their flight was delayed 4 hours. She didn't have much time and didn't give us any details. When they arrive in Amsterdam this morning they may think we were lying about the weather if it is like this there!

I hear the cleaning people out in the hall. They are cleaning the rooms this morning. We wish they had waited one more day because then the apartment and sheets and towels would be clean for when we are gone and the next professor arrives. We'll have to see how we're going to work that out. I just woke up the boys so they can get ready and we can let them in. (This is one of our cleaning ladies. She reminds us all of Aunt Uschi. She is smiley and friendly.)

Something is going on outside today. There are trucks outside our window and people are bringing flowers and instruments into the building next door. They even backed a truck up on the walking path by the river. It was an extremely tight fit!

This morning I planned to get up before Len and make pancakes before his last day of class. I mixed together all of the ingredients and then remembered that we don't have any eggs. I'll send the boys to the store and make them for lunch, I guess. If I don't do that, then I'll have to give it to the students and tell them to mix eggs and milk in it and to make pancakes some day next week. We won't be able to take it with us.

My hands are very dry and peely here no matter how much lotion I put on them. I think it's from doing dishes all the time (after every meal and snack). My hands must be pampered now that we have a dishwasher at home! (I also never did them this often before but we run out of dishes if I don't!)
