Cousin Julie and her husband Scott arrived last Sunday morning, so we\u2019ve been enjoying visiting with them this week. We\u2019ve had a lot of good food: Corte Comedor, Mishiguene, La Alacena – not to mention good conversations and a bottle or two of wine. John took them on a tour of the Ambassador\u2019s residence Friday, as well as a walk-through of the embassy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I went for drinks and a show with Lea, Rachel, and Rachel last night – we went downtown to see the Spanish version of \u201cRent.\u201d It was a fun, energetic cast, and even though I couldn\u2019t really follow the Spanish, it was still a lot of fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
John and I finished the \u201cPride and Prejudice\u201d series, then watched the Keira Knightly movie version. Next up is \u201cSense and Sensibility.\u201d I finally finished Anne Patchett\u2019s \u201cBel Canto\u201d – I enjoyed it a lot but it took me a while to get through it. It\u2019s good, but just one of those books that was hard for me to pick up again once I had put it down. Next up is a light book club book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Happy birthday to Joan today! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
