ZAGREB
DAY 2




(click to enlarge)

Our second day in Zagreb, and every day after that, was beautiful and sunny. We were fortunate to come to Zagreb on the day that Winter changed to Summer. Apparently this is normal, and we're told that the precipitous end to winter occurs literally overnight. Interesting.

But a walk in the sun was a nice way to start the day. Sam luxuriated under his sun umbrella.

Ah the usual day with Sam: starting with a visit to the local playground. You would think that, being in a foreign locale, with lovely sights, old buildings, thriving crowds, and all the other accoutrements of tourist wonderlands, I would have more than a few photos of these things. On returning to NYC I was somewhat shocked to see that I had almost none. That all were of Sam. While it does not surprise me, it does suggest that I need to open my eyes a bit wider.

Sure. Like that's gonna happen. No way. Maybe when Sam goes off to high school.

I've seen the world. Just wanna see the boy for now.

So where was I? Oh yeah, the playground. We met a friend of his there, Phillip, and were kindly invited back to their apartment where Sam and Phillip engaged in a bit of parallel play.

My kind of day.

For those interested in Sonja and Paul's lovely apartment (that Paul spent a month working day and night to get fixed up), here are a few shots of the place:
