Gabi comes to town

Well, it's official... My family is in town! I went to pick them up yesterday morning. Their flight was scheduled to arrive at 8:30 AM but they only landed at 9:30 AM because of a severe winter storm in St.John's which delayed the trip by about 1:15 hours. But they made it out by 10:00 AM. We raced to get back to my place because my sister had a flight to Vienna and wanted to see us before she left (she needed to leave by 11:30 to catch her flight). When we arrived, we had a cake and a gift for Gabi because it was his birthday today. He just turned 11. My sister then left and we set out to visit the city. My mom was very cute and was like a kid discovering the city. She noticed all the differences like my cousin did. We visited most of the important sites around the city. We finished the day by taking a double decker back home (which my cousin loved) and we then had a relaxing meal. My flatmates were real gentlemen, giving us the living room while we ate and entertaining my little cousin while they watched TV. Dave even promised Gabi to play on his playstation two tomorrow.

Today, my mom, my aunt and cousin will be going to see the Misérables (the musical). I will be taking advantage of the free time to complete my readings (hopefully) and work on a project section which is due for tomorrow (yikes).
