Five Friday Favorites - Celebrations, Strawberry picking & more

Here are five things that have happened in the past week, to keep you up to date.

Pablo's graduation


It was such an amazing thing, and a bit boring, but being that it was held in German it kept me awake trying to follow along and everything.  
Me on Facebook:
yesterday was Pablo's graduation ceremony (3 hours long) and at the begining we couldn't find him when they entered the auditorium to take their place and Avi was bummed. :/ 2 hours later when it was his turn to stand in line to get his diploma Avi finally saw him and was happy waving at him...
He was actually the third one in line (from his study program) but the first two were absent and they called their names and nobody went... but when they finally called Pablos name we started cheering for him and then Avi yells really loud "PA-PAA" and everyone started laughing and while we were in line for the buffet a lady asked if she was the little girl who yelled "papa" and that it was cute of her, haha.

Family Arriving

My cousin will be in Germany for the next month doing a couple of summer courses, and we're taking advantage and showing him around, sadly we won't be doing what we did last year and go on another Euro Trip.  But we will plan different weekend activities (A trip to a German beach maybe?) and a little trip for the week after his classes end.

Strawberry picking

I blogged about this earlier this week you can check out that post for more on our first time strawberry picking, ever.

Budni Kinderfest


We went to the city center and bumped into a children's festival going on (I remembered reading about it so I suggest we go). It was hosted by Budnikowsky, a sort of Walgreens, but without the pharmacy section, here in Germany. They had many activities for the kids and Avi had a blast. It was cut short by rain, but nonetheless, it was still fun.

Movies, movies, movies

We've been on a movie buying streak recently, buying at least two per week.. it's so much fun going to the store and picking something out..  and much better than just watching something on Netflix, especially those new movies that haven't been already been added.

What was the highlight of your week?

     Hi Everyone! it's been a while since i posted anything to my blog, and i opened blogger today and found a couple of drafts, this one I had done as a guest post on a friends blog and figured I'd post it here to! Have you been following along on instagram? I post on my stories almost daily and it's so much fun for me!    List the top 5 cities you've visited and why. I've already done a post on this, 5 Places I'd like to revisit go check it out and tell me if we have any cities in common! What do you like doing in your spare time? I enjoy spending time on the computer and watching stuff on Netflix. when I have time I like challenging myself to do puzzles. What are you reading? I just finished reading Accidental Tourist and am currently reading The Girl on the Train. What is your favorite food to cook? My all time favorite recipe is Enchiladas Suizas , but sometimes I settle for Chilaquiles (as tortillas de Maíz/corn tortillas) aren't found...

I read Rachel's post: liveblogging  a 12 hour flight to Bangkok and loved it.. granted not every flight is a good one but I figured I'd give this a go and try doing a similar post. I decided to record happenings on my most recent flight, even thought it was less than eight hours it seemed to go okayish and so i'm sharing it with you today. Here's how my flight went down: Before the flight, we were kind of worried about not having any in-flight entertainment since we booked our transatlantic flight with eurowings. 13:03 Board the plane. We get happy the plane does have in flight entertainment. We also noticed that every seat has a water bottle. Sadly only the ones with extra leg room get a blanket/pillow. 13:17  Find out the in flight entertainment requires a 9,99€ payment. 13:44  Time for the safety procedure demo. 13:53  Prepare for take off, then eventually take off. 13:56  Kid behind me says: "guck mal da unten die kleinen Autos." ...

I know I haven't posted anything in a while but I felt like I needed some time off. Lately I haven't had much free time, yet I haven't done much. Allow me to take you back and tell you what happened these past few months.. In July we took a trip to attend a conference in Boston and then stayed an extra week to visit the big apple. I loved getting to revisit this city and got to knock a lot of items of my NYC bucket list. Once we got back from our trip, Avi went back to her last week of school, and my cousin came to visit.. but I kinda screwed up and Avi ended up missing the last day of school (we took a day trip to Berlin instead). We had all of August free, and we took advantage of this (and a wedding in our hometown) and went to visit our family in Mexico. We had a packed two weeks in Mexico, during which we were able to catch up with a lot of friends, visit the BBVA Stadium and  Avi took an intensive swim course, she was able to get the basic done, but she...
