Exactly a week later a new post :-)
Dropped my parents off at the airport this morning and they seemed to be ready to travel all the way back to the Netherlands.
What have we been doing in the 2nd week?

Returned all the DVDs we had rented and tried picking up the rental car for the Niagara Falls trip on Monday. Tried cause I don't have a credit card and thus I had to bring utility bills and such crap to prove I'm not a criminal.
Fun!

On Tuesday we drove to the Falls which took about 5 hours, and after checking in we went for a walk which took us a few hours. When we came back to the hotel we booked an overpriced tour for the Wednesday but since my parents are on their holiday I figured what the hell.
At least we got a boat ride on the Maiden of the Mist and a tour in the butterfly conservatory which my mom loved.
Getting up Thursday morning to drive back which was a bit faster since I speeded a bit more haha. Think we made it in like 4 hours.
Went out to get some more DVDs with my dad and we spent the last few days relaxing and watching movies.

Oh, apparently my mom loved La Filipiana cause after having been there on their first Saturday she insisted on going back yesterday. What can I say? She loves Thai food now and La Filipiana is my fave restaurant in Pittsburgh.

Of course it's good to have my apartment all to myself again. Even though it will take some getting used to the silence again.
And so it goes.

Hej Ron

Nice to know that both you and your parents enjoyed the last 2 weeks. I flipped through all the pictures of their visit. You nearly mirror your mother's appearance,though with a male touch really. It is more than fun to read about what is going on in Pittsburgh, so keep on blogging, please. Can you say 'hi' to Yimu, Linda, and all the others? Give them a huge hug. Love, Sabine
