Another trip downtown

Ami and I have start to get a little routine going. Monday, Tuesday, Friday she goes to the gym in the morning and I get the boys ready and start home school with them. Tuesday, Thursday she takes the boys to the gym and I have the mornings free. This Tuesday I wandered back downtown. Its about a 15 min walk. I love it, everyone is out biking and walking. Its so funny though when I think about it. I have never seen so many old people out and about and neighbors on their daily route to wherever they are headed. It makes you really feel apart of the community but then again not. Even though people trust each other enough to send their kids roaming the streets and walk around the town they do not look at you or say hello. And at home you may trust your neighbor enough to say hello but not to send your child out alone.. so weird. I dont get it.
Anyway it was a beautiful day out. I walked around in and out of shops. I think I found the leather jacket I want!! I sat in a cute little cafe and ordered coffee and a chocolate croissant and read. It was yummy and waitress spoke English. She was so happy to talk to me and she gave me her number. She said she would show me around.. that was so nice. On my walk home I saw the coolest thing ever.. a covered bike. It said energy for the future and it was a low riding bike with a cover over it.. so cool. i totally want one.
Later that evening we went to my second hockey game. This time we had the boys with us. The games was a nail bitter, the fans were crazy. After we got to go in the locker room and watch the interviews while waiting for Curtis. It stunk for sure but fun to watch. Thursday I am going to go to Zurich which is one of the biggest cities I believe... should be fun. I am trying to recruit Ami's friend. We will see how it goes.
