It was fun to get out and see folks, but the introvert in me got a little exhausted, LOL. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We started on Thursday evening with a farewell party for one of the Marines. It was the first time I\u2019d even been in the Marine House even though it\u2019s right by the embassy. The Marines are so young! It was fun listening to them give tribute to the one who was leaving. They served up Mexican food and margaritas &#8211; lots of fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday night we went to Justin and Stephanie\u2019s for pizza and Catan, along with two other folks, and last night we went to Matthew and Ana\u2019s for an eid celebration. Ana outdid herself on food &#8211; just an amazing assortment of Indonesian food and enough dessert for the whole town. She is really amazing. I had a good time catching up with Steve and Audrey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The work week was crazy &#8211; a lot of putting out fires and other shenanigans. I worked Friday in the office &#8211; nice and quiet since it was a local holiday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re enjoying \u201cMare of Easttown\u201d and \u201cTin Star\u201d on television, and last night we started \u201cHacks\u201d with Jean Smart &#8211; she is amazing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We actually had three social events this week now that 95% of the embassy has been vaccinated.
