SJ's First Stop of the Day

SJ's first stop in the morning is the Hofgarten playground. This is just a short walk from our house, and it is usually shady - which is good in our recent heat spell. One of the interesting things about the playground is that it seems to be a real international melting pot. SJ usually runs about as many non-Germans as Germans at the playground - English, Bulgarian, Peruvian, etc.
