Wilmington, Delaware.

We have arrived in Delaware where our hosts, Jenny and Matt have set up us up in their living room on two gigantic and equally comfortable mattresses. Wilmington is a small town located in the northern part of Delaware, just 20 minutes by train from Philadelphia. The apartment has a 40 feet terrace and a view over the river and city skyline. And believe it or not it just becomes even more beautiful after sunset.

The Brandywine Park and River area start in the middle of town and head out west. It is a serene and tranquil place where you can get away from the vibrant city life, located around Rodney Square - home of the city library, bus stops and the place where Market Streets stores start their parade.

We took a long walk around town and especially in the Brandywine area on a warm monday evening. It was a remarkable thing to experience such nature in the middle of an american city - pretty much a first for us. But then again, Wilmington hosts no more than 80.000 residents, and has major banking industry in midtown. So I guess that does give a sound foundation for keeping midtown clean.

Last night after walking we go treated to Lasagne and Lima beans - the latter prepared in a mixture of olive oil, basel and garlic - and today we’re off to the greek festival, so here’s a little prayer of us getting some nice lamb tonight!

We’re staying with Jenny and Matt until thursday, and then we’ll be going to Washington DC, for a week. But stay tuned for more pictures from this little piece of heaven.
