They even did a partner course in which they had to work together to achieve the course. They did well in the beginning, but found it best to do things individually.
Almost all the courses ended with a zip-line to the ground.
On their way home they spotted a cat. We all know what happens next, petting time.
One day there was a long enough break in the rain. The twins walked to and through the English Garden for some well needed exercise and fresh air. They stopped to watch the surfers in the canal and at a biergarten for lunch, that happened to be next to a dog park. The place was filled with dogs wondering around everywhere, Ada and Navi loved it.
And Navi... he ordered a cheese burger. It was a huge burger and he finished the entire thing.
Restaurants in Munich can serve food indoors. Patrons wear a mask upon entering and fill out a contact tracing form, masks can come off once seated. Bars that do not serve food are still closed, but everything else is open. Masks are not required outside, but must be worn inside businesses, public facilities, transit, farmer's markets and where social distancing is not possible.
The day has arrived and the Lopezjoneses are moving to Europe. Packed with six big pieces of luggage, and Lucy, they headed to the airport. They will fly to Germany and quarantine and then move on to Italy.
The twins had one of the best transcontinental flights ever. On a plane with a capacity of over 300 there were only about 50 passengers. Which means each kid got to share a row of seat with their dad & papa.
After an almost 11 hour flight, they landed early in Munich, another empty airport.
Back at home they settled into their spaces and began their lessons. There were a few glitches with the technology, but for the most part La Scuola is doing a superb job with the online learning.
The twins started their first day of 6th grade today. Not a normal first day of school. They went to their campus for a 2 hour socially distant orientation - with face coverings. The rest of the school will be online.
They did their usual walk through Dolores Park, with their Dad at Ada's request. Navi was given permission to run ahead - and he did.
At school they met only their 6th grade classmates (no more combined grade), which comprised of no more than 15 students. They waited patiently for the doors to open, socially distant of course.
The school set up tables and chairs outside. They met with their teachers and socialized with their classmates. It was good for them mental state to have this little bit of normalcy.
Later that day, on their way to the dentist, they stopped at a pharmacy to get their flu shot.
Don't forget to get your flu shot this year! And vote!!!
Hello!
I started this blog when the twins were 2 days old, as a way to inform family/friends of their doings and adventures. After 11 years, I decided to end the blog and move on to other hobbies. Well, because of today's situation around the world I decided to restart it for our upcoming new and grand adventure. I last posted a year ago yesterday - Enjoy!

Pandemic! Back in March the twins' school closed the campus and school went online due to Covid-19. They managed to make it to Hawai'i for a few days before the US (mainly California then) took a pause as they learned more about this virus. Everyone got back safe and Covid free to San Francisco, continued with online school, work from home, and sheltering in place.
Summer was officially canceled - as was Costa Rica, school's Yosemite sleep away, and Bali. As the state began to 'open-up' they made due with trips to isolated and remote places, like Weed, CA and of course Huntley Mill. The twins had the opportunity to camp couple of times with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the outdoors.
School (online) resumes in two days. Stay tuned with these two.
Cheers to all, especially front line workers (thank you).
