We had a 4pm appointment today because the children were out for another party this morning.  We decided to give solo traveling a try- and made our way across the city via metro and tram.  The tram was the only unknown- as we had no idea where it stopped, what line to get on, or how much it would cost.  We made our way walking down the line until we came upon a cluster of people standing next to a pole.  We hedged our bets and waited with the group- sure enough the tram came along and we got to the back of the line- watching the young men in front of us.  We crossed our fingers and watched as the tram went down the turn we needed (deep sigh of relief)! What's really scary- is to transport both Paul and Pam completely across the city and back costs a whopping $.80!!

We bought some Legos and Bubbles to give a different twist to our playtime.  The Legos were amusing for about 10 minutes- and she gained more pleasure in playing with the "vehicles" Paul and Pam were making.  Then we went to the Bubbles- which were a HUGE hit- both blowing and catching.  Then Katya decided she was going to "perform" for us- and made over 10 "takes" with the video camera of her dancing around the room- Rockettes... here she comes!

We had dinner in our local (read daily) Italian- and Paul finally bit the bullet and tried the lasagna- stating it was almost as good as he could make!  Tomorrow holds no plans-- as we are not allowed to visit Katya- so I envision sleeping in, laundry, tidying up the apartment- and maybe a hike down to the river to have a good hamburger!
