We enjoyed catching up and reminiscing about old friends; it\u2019s always a treat to see a familiar face in a foreign country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"199\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0A9ED530-BFC9-41D3-B9C9-AC381B67BBC0.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6965\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0A9ED530-BFC9-41D3-B9C9-AC381B67BBC0.jpeg 320w, http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0A9ED530-BFC9-41D3-B9C9-AC381B67BBC0-300x187.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption>With Jon and Kyle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Last Monday was also a holiday, and I set out for a solo bike ride.

Good food and lots of laughs. Later in the day, John and I walked up to see the animals for adoption &#8211; it\u2019s so hard not to bring them all home with us! Today we went out for lunch at a little parrilla not far from here; it was a nice walk. Afterward we ran an errand at the mall. John also got his 4Runner running and decked out with a new battery this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We watched an excellent movie this week, \u201cGod\u2019s Crooked Lines\u201d &#8211; really, really good. I finished reading \u201cThe Body Keeps the Score\u201d and started re-reading a 1959 favorite of John\u2019s, \u201cThe Magic of Thinking Big.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/A33A4E4F-9603-4746-AB26-804437C092F5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6966\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/A33A4E4F-9603-4746-AB26-804437C092F5.jpeg 240w, http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/A33A4E4F-9603-4746-AB26-804437C092F5-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><figcaption>Flavia in her bed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John and I celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary on Friday!
