Cousin Time

I spent a fair amount of time with some of my cousins during my visit. Here are some of the memories that I have of my time with them.

• Playing with my little cousin Luis (4) with his tractors - he forever wanted to be "cutting" hay, because that is what the farmers around the town were doing at the time.

• Singing together with Aaron, Zippora, Hannah and a well played ukulele

• Walking around St. Gallen with Eveline, having a delicious lunch with her, seeing her very cool top floor apartment with a balcony and an excellent view right in the city, and going to see her work place where she is a programmer for a big bank in Switzerland

• Hearing Aaron and Jonathan play piano, drums and the ukulele and sing at a restaurant called Wilson, where I ate kangaroo and ostrich (very good by the way) and hung out with my aunt, uncle , Zippora and Hannah. Among the songs they played was a variation on "Sweet Home Alabama" called "Sweet Home Shaffhuse" (the town in which they live)

• Sitting in the kitchen and talking late at night with Res, Vroni, Zippora, Aaron, Angela, Joni, Benni, and Hannah

• Gallivanting around Shaffhausen with my cousin Zippora and Hannah, eating ice cream, doing a mini photo shoot by the Rhine, and looking at the lovely buildings and shops around the town

• Playing the dice game with my cousin Tobias, where he thoroughly beat us twice even though it was his first time playing that game
  

It was a grand time with all and it was very nice to catch up with some of my cousins again.
