It's 3:30 am and I'm just getting sleepy, we are all wacked out with our sleeping. We needed to wait for a new pocket wifi which didn't end up in our hands until late so we never left the place until 5pm. I was feeling guilty that we had wasted much of the day, but now I am remembering that it's not about were we are, its about who we are with and just relaxing...and we are doing that. This place is very quite and peaceful, but a good 45-50 min train ride into the city.
We didn't know where we would end up and when we left it was raining, which continued on and off most of the evening, but we managed to happen upon a few things, late and shut down, history, eye opening and new to us none the less.
Sometimes I wonder if we are lacking in the "tourist" department, we are late to get going (at least my side of the fam (we definitely get that from grandma!), Anthony and April have no problems getting their butts up and out!), we rarely have a schedule and often don't know where we are actually going. Trying to figure out where to eat...hahahaha, we ended up at the food market in the Berlin Mall! But,I have to remind myself, so what, we had a good time (once April took an allergy pill, for fear that the food she got DID end up with some peanut in it, and for her, that's a no-no.)
At times, in a moment I feel the stress inside me build up or the tension between one or more of us, but it passes and the silliness and laughter comes back; the giggles between the girls, the glances and smiles between Anthony and myself, and i am reminded all is right in the world.
I found out that Srikumar Murthy G & Radhika Murali will be delayed getting here until Saturday morning, reality is, that's work, that's life and we all know that, so we get an extra evening together in Berlin, just the 5 of us. But reality is, for me, that just sucks and that makes me sad. I guess I feel a little cheated, but, I will make sure to love the time that we have with them even more. :)
Guess I should get to bed before the sun comes up in just a couple of hours, hey, it's still light at after 10 pm and sunrise at 4:45 and it's now 3:51 and I can hear the birds singing outside already! Enjoy some pics from today, a good day, a day with some frustrations, a little stress, some transportation troubles, lots of smiles and my heart filled with the joy that is my family.
Peace!
