Things I miss already...

1. Not having to close my eyes every time I am in a car in fear of being hit. I have vowed to never drive here. It is insanely scary, and I think I would pull over and cry if I had to do it. I actually saw an ambulance hit a motorcycle today, it hit his back wheel, and they both just kept going. One of Burke's biggest pet peeves is when people speed up just to slow down a little bit ahead in traffic...that is all people do here!

2. A washer and dryer, but everyone has already heard about that.

3. Handicap/stroller accessibility. This is not the place to live if you are in a wheelchair, or have to transport a child in a stroller. You have to go underground to cross many streets, and only a few of the stairs have rails that strollers can go on. As everyone knows, Merrick has a bit of energy, so without the stroller, he tries to run everywhere. This is making it really hard to go places without Burke that we can walk to. Thank goodness I bought the monkey backpack child harness...aka Merrick's leash.

4. Not being exposed to EEMS. The new term of the day...Eastern European Man Smell.

There is much more that I will think of and write about another day. All and all things are going well, as well as they can in our stinky apartment. I am glad we will be out of here by the time Taylor and my mom get here, it would be too crowded! I have only thought about coming back to the US with Merrick for the month of July twice. I am sure it will happen again, but I won't act on it. We have a few things planned this weekend. We have two nanny interviews (YEAH!!!) the American Chamber of Commerce 4th of July celebration is on Saturday, and we go to London on July 15th to the 20th.
