This summer our friends Josh and Danielle were in America. They were so kind to offer us their car for the summer. So right before they left John went and got his drivers licenses. Which is actually not very easy since the translation into English on the test is horrible. We have enjoyed having their car for the summer. It has been nice not to rely on public transportation so much. One of the highlights of the summer for me has been the mountains. The past two Sundays we have loaded up the kids in the afternoon and driven up the mountain for a little hike. The kids have loved it and I have too. It is so peaceful up there and so quiet. When you live in a city of 4 million people ( maybe more) it isn't very quiet around here. We are so thankful we had a car to be able to enjoy some peacefulness for a while. Below are some pictures of the two times we have gone hiking.
You can really see the vastness of the city.
Not really sure what Zeb is looking at on the trail.
