It took a year and a half, but I finally manage
d to get Larry to the tailor. He's been hinting he wanted a new suit. Every time we'd pass a tailor shop, we'd have some excuse not to go in, but a couple of weeks ago, the stars must have been aligned. Several friends recommended a couple of tailors in the old town and I was also really pleased with the girls' coats we 
had made last year. We stumbled, however, into another shop that didn't have too many people. A family run store with the parents doing the measuring and sewing while their son, who spoke English, working the sale. Larry picked out a nice gray pinstriped fabric for the suit and two for shirts, pink and yellow. Throw in a black cashmere coat to finish off the look. I got caught up in the fun and got measured for two coats. The son told us everything would be ready in ten days.
Yesterday, we spent the afternoon exploring the area known as walking street. The weather was decent and the place was mobbed. First stop was the tailor. Everything turned out beautifully. I
love my coats and Larry looked very dashing in his suit (maybe not so much in the picture with his ballcap and sneakers).

. Larry and I are game for most places. The girls are not as daring. The name, however, was a bit misleading. It was a buffet, but the choices were not as international as the girls had hoped. They did have some yummy skewers and two little guys would come to the table and offer grilled items, some more easily identifiable than others. I only spit one into my napkin when I couldn't chew it without gagging. Next stop was the electronics store where Larry bought the twins' PSPs. Four floors of all things electronic. Bargaining ensued on two new batteries for the games. They'd charged them too long and burned 'em up. We waited an extra thirty minutes so they could download thirty-nine new games. While we waited, we found a harddrive docking station on the fourth floor. This will enable me to retrieve the photos and files I thought we'd lost when the other computer got fried by a virus.

Syd was a bit jealous since her PSP had less games added than Sarah's, but she's coping.
