The benefit of my brother working in Bosch, California is that he gets to come to the German office at least twice a year. And thankfully its just 5 hours from Eindhoven. Since he was coming my parents visited us in April at the same time. We decided to book a holiday home somewhere in between Eindhoven and Mithun's work base. We got a good Landal (Sonnenberg)vacation home booking close to Trier.
We treasure these full family moments. It always feels like when we were kids again. It would have been complete if his wife Ria could have joined us.
The area around our holiday home itself was beautiful and we enjoyed a day of just walking around and relaxing at parks when the kids wanted to play.
Another day we visited Trier. It was a beautiful archeological town and we enjoyed every bit of it.We even met Malayalee nuns when we were walking around the Bishops gardens. We spend a few minutes silently smiling at each other, since we already figured out where we were from. It just took a minute longer to break the ice and ask the famous question : Are you Malayalee ? (of course in Malayalam).
We had great eat outs, which I treasure and enjoy.(Anything other than eating my own cooked food). And of course my mum brought a crate full of mutton biriyani, beef curry, and cutlet for the brother. Other than meeting us and for work, his sole reason for coming is to eat his mums food.
The boys had a great time with Appacha , Ammachi and Tutumama. And of course enjoyed the gifts and goodies that came with them.
