Flavia was not as enchanted with it, and managed to hide herself in a completely empty apartment, much to our chagrin (she eventually came out after dark, but has hidden herself again today).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Until our things get here, we are staying in a guest suite in the same building, which is really handy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">We were delighted to have lunch with our old Islamabad friends, Sunera and Joseph Schaller, today at Founding Farmers.
