In metro con Ele
Sto notando una mia tendenza di auto censurare il racconto delle solite storielle quotidiane, chiaramente legata alla mia recente scoperta che questo blog viene letto da gente di cui proprio non me l'aspettavo...
Comunque sia, questa storia mi fa troppo ridere e quindi la racconto. Quando prendiamo la metropolitana con Ele spesso ci tocca aspettare a lungo (dal punto di vista di una bimba piccina) e quindi ci inventiamo vari giochi. Quello preferito di Ele e' di fissare i binari con gli occhi finche' vediamo un ratto. Ora ogni volta che scendiamo in metro, Ele chiede tutta agitata: "Dov'e' il ratto?" Ah i piccoli piaceri della vita newyorchese.

Schwiizerduetsch
Mamma war eine Woche lang unterwegs auf einer Konferenz. Waehrenddessen hat Eleonora kraeftig Berndeutsch mit ihrem Papa gelernt. Der Wortschatz ist mittlerweile zu gross, um hier aufgelistet werden zu koennen, daher nur eine Zusammenfassung:
- Sie kann alle Bilder auf den Holzkloetzchen benennen (some toughies: Himmuguegeli, Xylophon, Schildkrot).
- Lieblingsausrufe: Hoppla Schorsch! Potz Tusig! (also Papa...) aber man kann ja auch nicht die ganze Zeit "oh my goodness!" sagen.
- Action: innetue, ussenaeh, abegheie, abeluege, uffego, abego... es geht immer was.
Nur zu, falls jemand meine Schreibweise korrigieren moechte!

New York beaches
Nun empirisch belegt: Innerhalb von 1.5 Stunden schaffen wir es von unserer Haustuer zu mehreren wunderschoenen Sandstraenden - mit oeffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln. Letzte Woche waren wir am Long Beach (Long Island), gestern am Brighton Beach in Brooklyn. Leider war gestern das Wetter nicht optimal (es gab ein Sturmgewitter und der Strand wurde geraeumt), also sind wir ins New York Aquarium gefluechtet. War super, und Ele hatte sehr Spass.

Schifo
Nachdem ich im Urlaub ordentlich Energie tanken konnte, habe ich beschlossen, am Sonntag mal wieder zu kochen fuer die liebe Familie. Es gab eine bulgarische Joghurt-Gurken-Suppe. Ele war sehr ungeduldig waehrend den Vorbereitungen, weil sie von einem Tag am Meer in Long Island hungriger als sonst war. Gierig verschlang sie den ersten Bissen. Pause, dann breites Grinsen: "Schifo!" (Ekelhaft, Anm d M). Und, um Missverstaendnissen vorzubeugen: "Bleah!"
Fabian und ich lagen unterm Tisch vor Lachen. Und demnaechst wird wieder beim Vietnamesen bestellt.

We're back from our trip to Switzerland, Austria, and Spain. I took Ele with me to a conference in Vienna, made possible by the incredible Kitzmantel-Banhidi clan, who provided room, board, transportation, and childcare! Of course we went to see Bisnonna several times. From there we headed to the Costa Brava, where we met up with Fabian and stayed in a beautiful villa with Nonna, Nonno, and Renata's family. Then on to Olot for another 4 glorious days in the heart of Catalonia. Switzerland was just a stop-over on both ways, but we managed to squeeze in a visit with Grossi and Grossaetti.
Ele was a real trooper, tagging along as we took 6 planes, were delayed 6 times, slept in 5 different beds, rented and returned 2 cars, made innumerable lengthy trips in them, and partied until 3am at Joerg and Marta's unforgettable wedding. She even learned a little Spanish (hola, adios, salud - gets you pretty far...), and the names of most of our numerous family members. Exhausting trip, but great fun!
