We went out to eat in Rhode Island a couple weeks back at Marchetti's. Prime Rib was the specialty and Jakob and I both got the King Cut. HUGE! Roughly 60 ounces and delicious (yes, we both finished it).
Jakob attended one of the required AFS retreats the weekend of October 2nd. They spent the night and got to know many of the other exchange students.
This Saturday we went to Six Flags with Lori's brother Frank and his family. Caitlin took Jakob on all of the big rollercoasters. Jakob did his first loop and loved it.
Jakob has also done some cooking, and treated us to a few Austrian specialties. We had Schnitzel and Austrian potato salad last night. Yumm! Of course, he's enjoyed experimenting with some good old American classics too.
Enjoy the pictures below...
