Life of Wry

…. in that order!

Here they are…

These two are off to Europe for two weeks together. Could. Not. Be. Happier. They get off the plane bleary-eyed in Amsterdam tomorrow morning and join Solly and his Maya for four days in Amsterdam. Then they’ll head to Paris for a few days, then Toulouse for a few more days, and finish their trip with a bunch more days in Rome. I hope we’ll get snapshots of how things are going (but if we don’t, we’ll get them for a week in August for some Yosemite hiking and can hear all about it then).

And there they go….!!

Peter’s sporting a nice haircut, new shoes (it looks like), a new suitcase (our 25th birthday present to him)… and Maya’s got a wallet-full of “readies” that we gave her for her birthday (a bundle of Euros that I scrounged together from past trips to Europe). They’ve got their accommodations all worked out and their between-city transportation all booked and, if they can avoid the riots in France, should have a pretty great time.

I’m excited for them!

Thanks for the millionth time to Lisa and Claire who are just the best friends we could ever have, who are so very strategically located in Ann Arbor, where they can give these kids birthday parties, take them in during Covid-impacted holidays when travel home is impossible, host their graduation parties, introduce them to fancy Ann Arbor restaurants, everything else in between, and of course take them to the airport when they’re off on their European adventure. AND, send us photos of everything we cannot be on hand for (which is most of this!).
