Where are we???

I'm sorry for leaving you all unaware of where we are and what we do. It has been a few very intense days and I have not really had the energy to update the blog. We have not always had great internet connections either which has made it a little tricky. The boys have been doing very good in the car even if they get bored. They are such troopers, all three of them!

Well, there is not much that we have done except driving and taken food and pee breaks. We have made some shorter stops and walks on the the way. I'll tell you more further down. 

So where are we!? Well we started in Sweden and drove to Denmark over the Öresunds bridge. Exiting (and expensive). A short break and walk in Copenhagen.

Then we entered Germany where we did not really see much. We enjoyed the autobahn and were surprised by the size of the port in Hamburg and the numbers of trucks leaving from there. It was practicly two lanes with trucks and one lane with cars on the highway. 

The trucks kept us company the whole way through Holland and Belgium, too! 

In Holland we stayed in a very cute little town called Sevenum. Me and the kids went for a long walk while Alex had class and we saw some "farm dears" :-) The place we stayed at had some toys, too, so Marlee sand Noah could play some (it has been very little playing for them during this drive). All, and I mean ALL, the houses in the little town had perfect looking gardens. Some looked even like tiny tiny parks. I could never keep up with that if I lived there! But it sure looked beautiful and so cute!

Last night we spent outside Paris in a very shady suburb in a very shady hotel. We survived that, too, and they did have a fairly good breakfast. 

Today we did the biggest tourist attraction so far, the Eiffel tower!!! Unfortunately, we were in too much of a hurry and could not go all the way to the top but to the second level only. I was probably more disappointed than the boys who thought it was really cool!

Now we are staying in Limoges, France, which is a very cute town. Me and the boys went for a 90 min long walk while Alex had class. They are great walkers!!! We found a playground that we might visit tomorrow. We are thinking about staying two nights here so that Alex can work some and we can all relax a little from driving. 

While it is a lot of fun to see new places and experience new things, I think that we are all looking forward to arrive at our final destination, which is still unknown, and sleep in one bed for more than one night...
