Schiphol Airport
16 September 2022, Belanda ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Are we in the airport, or a Sims simulation? While I cannot understand a single word, somehow the Dutch language feels familiar.
Successfully made it to our layover before our flight to Minneapolis. Observations: hands-free toilets (10/10); Stroopwafels (8/10, too sweet); first signs of loud Americans (classic); Filiz’s first vanilla latte (“ I cannot taste the coffee, which is why I like it”); full rainbow. Eagerly awaiting our gourmet plane-meals, hoping they have vegan options. Stay tuned!Baca selengkapnya

We have arrived! After 9 hours of flights, “randomly selected” drug test subjects, and sub-par airplane food, we made it.
Asked Filiz to count how many American flags she saw on the drive from the airport to Grannies—she lost count. 🇺🇸 An American Eagle welcomed us on a hike by the dam— appropriate.🦅 Could barely keep our eyes open on the hike because of exhaustion, but still managed to appreciate a beautiful sunset. Filiz tries root beer for the first time and likes it, “it reminds me of bubble gum” (it’s not supposed to). A very strong start!Baca selengkapnya

What a better start to the day than waking up to the pitter patterns of rain on the window? 🌧 A tranquil morning greeted us, followed by my favorite Caribou Coffee, a regional coffee chain in Minnesota. Sipping the dark chocolate mocha was a necessary boost for the jet lag, and Filiz was delighted with her first Pumpkin Spice Latte. Tis the season 🍂🎃☕️
Luckily the weather cleared for some hours for a massive family pool party. Filiz learned how to throw the American football 🏈 in between freezing-cold pool swims and jumping on the trampoline below a massive, lightning-filled storm cloud ⛈ We love the temperamental nature of Minnesota!
Filiz was a champ as seemingly every family member tried out their limited knowledge of German: from random words like “Herbst” to “Esel” to Denglisch “Ich bin ober durrr” to full “Ich mag kartoffeln” — even I was impressed with the memory of those who learned 9th grade German over 50 years ago. Auf Wiedersehen!Baca selengkapnya

Game Day
18 September 2022, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
Filiz got her first taste of dining out in the US ~ free refills on coffee and water? Cheerful, over-the-top greetings from waitresses? 20% tips? What is this place?
Later, Atkins family pictures in a regional park outdoors. Needed to massage my face and cheeks from minutes upon minutes of smiling. Still recovering.
After, a Atkins family game night! Appropriately, we played a board game “Picture Perfect” (Der Perfekte Moment) and ate some delicious spaghetti squash. Filiz translated a song that the kids have been listening to for ages but never knew the lyrics: “Rolltreppenmax” Now I have an Ohrwurm 🐛🎶Baca selengkapnya

Spirit River
19 September 2022, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
After an early-morning rise, we headed to Eastman nature center for an autumn hike. The leaf-crunches were a delightful sound with each footstep we took through prairie, woods, and wetlands. Chai teas were a welcome post-hike pleasure at Avant Garden cafe.
Later, we drove an hour north to my parents’ house. My mom proudly showed us her garden, where we snacked on yellow cherry tomatoes and marveled at her last, massive “Old German” tomato harvest. We took another long hike through Spirit River, where we spotted the unofficial state bird of Minnesota: the mosquito. Luckily, Filiz and my mom fared well, though I just narrowly escaped with a dozen bites on my legs. We ended the night with classic American (veggie) burgers and cuddles with my Cairn terrier, Whizward. Another wonderful day.Baca selengkapnya

The Quarry
20 September 2022, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
We cannot get enough of the pumpkin spice lattes ~ morning fuel for a Mississippi hike with Mama T and the adventures to follow. Filiz came face-to-face with a beautiful deer looking for lunch. Though there is much evidence of our neighbor beavers, we haven’t seen them yet.
Katie joined us for a small road trip to the Quarry’s, where we took a lovely swim and cliff-dived into the refreshing, cool water. Pink clouds, heat lightning, and good tunes made for a great car trip back. We now eat some veggie pasta while relaxing.Baca selengkapnya

Bike Rides, Ciders, and Skeletons
21 September 2022, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
A peaceful day here in Brooklyn Park. We took the bikes out to the park behind grannies. Filiz cruised on what she described as “the most comfortable saddle ever” and I got to hop on my extremely light road bike again ~~ oh, what a difference it is from my shitty, €30 bike back in Kiel! We zoomed along the Mississippi, through the prairie and woods.
After, we went shopping in Uptown Minneapolis. We ordered extremely sweet chai lattes, rummaged through a charming bookstore, and found some treasures at the thrift store. Along the way~ the first signs of Halloween 🎃 towering statues of skeletons and serpants can be seen in the neighborhood!
We closed the night with a childhood friend of mine, picking up Mediterranean wraps and doners and sipping on some locally-brewed cider at a cidery. The weather suddenly got crisp and cool ~ jacket season is upon us!Baca selengkapnya

What Falls?
23 September 2022, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Today we visited one of my favorite brunch spots in Minneapolis— the Modern Times. It’s features a front AND back menu of vegan options, of which Filiz was very impressed. I had a Kate Bush sandwich (🎶 been running up that Hill) and Filiz had some vegan French toast.
Afterwards , I was looking forward to showing Filiz the majestic Minnehaha falls in Minneapolis. We must be in another drought, because the falls was not there, folks! That was a first. We took a long hike down to the Mississippi anyways, spotting a friendly weasel along the way. A family of turkeys greeted us back at grannies. We love the wild life!Baca selengkapnya

Grape Harvesting
24 September 2022, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
There’s nothing like a glass of wine at noon on an autumn day! 😋 We volunteered at Parley Lake winery to harvest grapes 🍇 in exchange for a free bottle of wine and glass of wine 🍷. The best part was the peacefulness of the grape harvest~ being on a small, quiet farm in the morning with an idle mind while harvesting. The wine was tasty~ I enjoyed a glass while Filiz had a respectful sniff and taste. The bees 🐝 enjoyed her glass 🍂 We spent the rest of the day packing up for the log cabin and camping to follow. 🪵 ⛺️Baca selengkapnya
