Last Monday we went to a small going-away get-together with Patrick, Jess, and baby Logan. We visited with Jamie and Kat and I got Logan to sleep for a bit. Tuesday I met Lea for lunch at a Spanish place, then we went shopping at a leather jacket store &#8211; fun. Later we met up again for happy hour with Kat at La Cotidiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Work was busy and stressful this week &#8211; lots to jam into three days. I was glad for Thursday\u2019s yoga class after work with some co-workers &#8211; we\u2019re using the consular waiting room so it\u2019s very convenient! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I met Lea for lunch yesterday at a good Peruvian restaurant and we briefly shopped at another leather store &#8211; thanks to its proximity to high-end hotels, the prices were easily double what we looked at last weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we walked to La Carniceria for what\u2019s probably our last get-together with Jamie, Kat, and Toby Ravetz &#8211; we\u2019ve really enjoyed getting a chance to hang out with them during this tour! Jamie had been telling us this restaurant is his favorite parrilla here, and it didn\u2019t disappoint!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2580.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7126\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2580.jpeg 320w, http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2580-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption>Jamie and John in front of a meat fridge at La Carniceria<\/figcaption><\/figure>\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\/06\/IMG_2581.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7127\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2581.jpeg 240w, http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_2581-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><figcaption>Delish!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday was the 8th anniversary of Mom\u2019s death &#8211; hard to believe.
