If the above doesn´t work out as planned, I actually bought some succulents – those will hopefully survive!

During these last days we have checked the schools out and did some shopping. On Tuesday me and Elvira took the 6 Train from Spring St to Astor Pl, just to try out one of the routes to her (hopefully) new school. She totally loved it, even though her first comment was “I´m gonna get lost here at once”. 😉

Between visiting the gym and doing some lovely walks down the River Hudson Park, Johan and I have also already done our duty and early voted in the Swedish parliamentary election at the Swedish Consulate at One Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza.

I went down to the closest basketball court at Hudson River Park and found these two 🥰

On Thursday morning, like almost every morning, I took a power walk down the river and out on the piers and a wasp look-a-like came climbing up my leg! At least 1.5 inches (almost 4 centimeters – I am trying to learn all the American measurement scales just to have a chance in helping the kids in their upcoming home work…).

Finally, Elvira got to visit the Ice Cream Museum at Broadway, together with a not as happy big brother 😉 In the end, they both came home pleased after eating as much ice cream as they wanted!

And Olle has just bought a keyboard (at Guitar Center again) and the guy in the store asked, after talking to me and Olle “- Where is his accent?!” Must feel sooo comfy to hear! 🙂

Yesterday Johan got a new pair of cool sneakers from On Cloud, and I found a pair of running shorts from Lululemon, so happy for them! 🙂 At lunch we tried the Korean Rice Chicken just around the corner, a bit similiar to Chilli&Soy in Täby Centrum.

Today we visited the gym again, and then had lunch at the Boqueria on Spring Street and Elvira and I just got home after two hours of probing gray jeans in every store on lower Broadway… Still no purchase, but perhaps with better luck another day :-).

And I got some cute furry pictures from Adam – hurts not to have them around but know they are doing sooo well at home.

Today the guys went to an NFL preseason game in Jersey. So Go Jets!! 3 hours later is seemed like the right team had won…

Tomorrow Johan goes to Sweden for a week and our little trio gets to see what the last full week of vacation has to bring! See you soon. 🙂
