Family Sunday At The Alster Lake
Our latest Family Sunday video will never be described as “riveting, high speed, intensely dramatic, full of action and adventure”. It will, however, be described as “lots of trees and sailboats, guy in green t-shirt, somewhat repetitive baby footage, all captured with a cheap camera”. C’est la vie, we are running a low-budget operation here. And after the highly dramatic meltdown of last night, we were just grateful for a quiet walk along the lake.
The Alster Lake, incidentally, is the centerpiece lake here in Hamburg. On sunny Sundays, It is swarmed with happy people enjoying the many park-like areas and walking/biking paths, sailboats/canoes/paddleboats/swans/geese/rubber-duckies crisscrossing the water, and frequent ice cream stands along the shore (what else do you really need on a Sunday?). Weirdly, about 20% of the woman we saw today were wearing moderately skanky outfits and HIGH HEELS for their stroll along the lake - apparently they had the dirt walking paths confused with Barcelona’s Las Ramblas. I myself haven’t worn a pair of high heels since February, and very well may not again until Sophie’s high school graduation.
Our next undertaking is our first family flight to California. (God, grant me the serenity to survive this experience.)
Here is the evidence of our lazy Sunday:

Sophie is a goddess, just like her mama… although I am thinking she looks a LOT like her pops.
Family Sunday’s look absolutely lovely. I need to do one of those, with my dog rather than a baby.
My presence on the web will be more apparent. Vacation is over..
