Day 1 (6/28/16)

After so many days on the road it was nice to sleep in and not worry about going anywhere.  Everyone slept in until 10:30 am.  This adventure is proving to be good for getting my kids to sleep-in. The kids both woke-up not feeling well.  Since neither of them ate a good dinner we just chalked it up to being hungry.  We all got ready and headed down to the hotel restaurant for lunch.  I ordered a coffee and the waiter asked if I wanted black coffee, white coffee, or americano? Here is where I show my American ignorance....."What is white coffee?"  He kindly explained it is coffee with milk.  They don't put cream on the table, they pour your coffee and add milk, not cream, to it before they bring it to you. Sugar cubes are on the table for you to add to your coffee, but there are white cubes and brown cubes, cue ignorant question #2, what are the difference in the the sugar cubes.  The white is granulated sugar and the brown is brown sugar. Brown sugar is typically used in coffee and white in other things.  I have learned I prefer the brown sugar in mine with the milk as I was used to flavored cream back in the states.
Before our food arrived Lil Ron got sick.  We aren't sure if he got a bug from the plane or if all the traveling caught up with him.  Either way we were grateful that he didn't get sick during our travels.
The kids and I spent the rest of the day in the hotel room.  Ron ventured out in the rain and got a rental car.  He also went by the grocery store and picked up some staples and some pre-made salads for dinner.  While having a sick kid isn't ideal, it was a nice excuse to just hang out and relax for the day.
