This was a really busy week! My friend and consular colleague Rachel flew in this week and is staying with us, along with her six-year-old daughter Scout. They’ve been busy exploring the city and filling us in on their adventures in the evenings. Lots of fun to catch up and have a young child in the house!
Thursday night we had a late (for me) dinner at the lovely Anchoita restaurant with colleagues and foodies Shawn and Angie. We ordered a lot of different things and shared – such good and inventive dishes!
We’ve watched a bit of the Olympics off and on this week – big fun! My friend is working at the embassy in Paris and I’m hoping she doesn’t have too many US citizens with problems during the week!
I read a book about domestic adoptions from the birth mothers’ viewpoints this week, “Relinquished” by Gretchen Sisson – I look forward to a good book club discussion about it next week.
Lea and I met for brunch today. On my walk home, I popped into the small popular arts museum to see what interesting textiles they had. I loved the big crocheted head above.
And I finally walked through the decorative arts museum near our house!
This sculpture of Diana reminded me of the lovely iron piece by Mary Cantrell that John gave me when we first met.
I forgot to post these photos from La Rural last week. I love to watch them vacuum the cows!
