I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t expect anybody remembered me beside my friends in San Diego.<\/p>\n<p>It was fun. Especially my grandson played with me.\u00c2\u00a0 I know that pre soon he loves to play with his friends and he will not play with me.<\/p>\n<p>I got bad flue one week after I got in San Diego.
