visiting SA

Hey, Patrick is taking a 10 week long course in Norfolk, VA, so I'm visiting in the USA. One week with his folks in Brevard, NC, on the first and last leg of this trip and SA in the middle. I managed to see JB Summit and his wife Mina and their 3 1/2 year old son William and also Lila at a McDonald's on Sunday. It was great to see them! Lila, post the photo you took, please! My daughter Clare just watched the TV and negotiated over dessert and Thomas was busy making friends, while Will actually played a little on the play structure. Mina and JB are living in Brooklyn and coming to SA quite frequently for the very sad reason that his mother is terminally ill with cancer. We talked about kids and jobs and food (JB's dad has taken up cooking, while in Brooklyn they call in a lot of Thai food. I wish we could call in Thai food in our German village!)
So, there it is. I hope all is well with folks. What is anybody else doing this Summer?
