Sam's Weimar Birthday

We ate out on Sam's birthday eve at Goethe's favorite Weimar restaurant "Zum weißen Schwan" and Emma and I went back out later to get some "fruit"
Emma and I stayed at a nice place close to the Belvedere and enjoyed the beautiful walk up to the Schloss and the Schloss gardens.





 









You may notice that Emma likes trying to climb things.  Sam showed off the nice Belvedere Cafe frequented by all the tourists there.


 




 
 
 
Later Emma and I cruised the downtown of Weimar (captured below in a very cool sculptured model of the town).  And Sam was done practicing he brought us to Creperie du Palais for dinner.  Less historical but just as tasty.








We had presents back at the Ferienwohnung and Sam was excited to get a nice new shirt and a Frederick the Great biography and of course Bruckner CDs.  When the Bruckner showed up he immediately had to dive into the booklet--some pretty strong Grandpa Bert vibes.

Emma's San Diego Beach Day

Emma and Peter got a quick stay in San Diego.  While Karola was at work, we explored Mission Bay and enjoyed a cloudy day turning sunny
