It&#8217;s newly renovated and so nice. It was kind of a pain to move, but it was worth it. We also have a washer\/dryer in the apartment now, which is a big improvement from having to go down the hall to do laundry. TFran, Miguel and Pam have all made stops by to see it and say hello.<\/p>\n<p>Thursday night we went to Dupont Circle for a couple of going away happy hours &#8211; one for Dean, who is going to be the Consul General in Juarez, and another for our Hebrew-speaking friend Liz, who is leaving for Jerusalem. It&#8217;s kind of odd, because out of our A-100 class there will be five of us in Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Our teacher was doing tests Thursday and Friday, so John and I were mostly left to our own devices during class, but we made good use of the time. Speaking of tests, John did a Hebrew progress test this week and made a good score, so he should be on track to pass (just before Labor Day).<\/p>\n<p>John is at a magic workshop in Maryland this weekend (it&#8217;s close enough to come home at night). He&#8217;s having a blast with all of his mentors and friends from around the country.<\/p>\n<p>Last night, I went to a fun party on the rooftop of a cool building with a beautiful view of the Capitol in the distance. The party was given by a friend from A-100; he and his wife cooked up Brazilian food, which was delicious. It was a gorgeous evening, no humidity and perfect temperature.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/001x7.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/006x2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-949\" title=\"006x\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/006x2-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/006x2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/006x2.jpg 448w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/016x4.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<strong><em>Empanadas<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/016x4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"016x\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/016x4-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>John and Kellee<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/047x.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-951\" title=\"047x\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/047x-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/047x-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/047x.jpg 298w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Dupont Circle<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rooftop party The big news this week is that John and I moved into a new apartment, just down the hall from our old apartment.
