We had a low key but fun Thanksgiving lunch with two friends from the embassy, Mellisa and Joe – the turkey was delicious at Oasis Cafe and we enjoy their good service.
The big news is that our household effects (HHE) were delivered/unpacked Monday and Tuesday – my cup runneth over, haha! It’s been fun but a lot of work to get everything put away, decorated, etc. We have most things done but still some odds and ends here and there, and of course, the art will need to be hung. But the house is coming together nicely and it’s starting to feel like our home.
John took Monday off to help with the delivery, but he was back at it on Tuesday. He had two evening events this week on his own, then I went with him to a fun art show at the EU ambassador’s residence Friday night in support of combatting gender-based violence. Yesterday, we went to the French ambassador’s residence for lunch with him and his wife – they are both lovely and they have a good sense of humor. We really enjoyed our visit with them.
Here are a couple of photos from last week’s AmCham event, plus our photo at the Marine Ball.
