We had some good quality time with David and Alison, as always &#8211; I enjoy my afternoon coffees with them. John and I enjoyed watching \u201cWar and Peace,\u201d \u201cMiddlemarch,\u201d and \u201cLes Miserables\u201d (can you tell John is on a classics kick?). We also enjoyed \u201cDune 2.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturday we met Kelly H at the airport as she was returning to North Carolina and we were heading back to Argentina. Then &#8211; just like that &#8211; it was time to board our flights and come back to the real world. I was happy to see Flavia well taken care of by Pilar while we were gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until next time, Hot Springs!<\/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\/2024\/04\/IMG_3483.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7404\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3483.jpeg 240w, http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3483-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><figcaption>Sunrise<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John and I enjoyed our last week of vacation in Arkansas.
