Monday Aug. 15th

Monday was a holiday here so again everything was closed just like on Sunday.  The kids spent their morning jumping and enjoying the trampoline.  We do not have this at home so they can enjoy this here. 
Since we still didn't have internet we heard that McDonalds has free Wi-Fi so we took the kids and our computers there for lunch.  This one was a bigger one close to one of the malls and had an indoor play area and an outdoor climby area.    Today since it was a holiday there was not much traffic out and so we drove around the downtown area which is only about 5 minutes from our house.  And we drove down to the Grund which is that sunken part of the city that I had posted a picture of it.
The size of the products here are mostly a lot smaller then the US sizes.  Unfortunatley there is no Costco here.  I miss their big parking spaces and the buying in bulk.  So here the juice containers mostly come in 1L, well after 5 of us drink juice for breakfast there is only about 1 glass left of juice.  But the cereals come in the same size boxes as home and because of that they are too big to fit in the cupboards!
