Another fine day...

Had a late start, ate some cheese and chicken crepes. Then, went out to the Natural History Musuem to learn all about trilobites and early sea life. Then went to the Sculpture garden where Amy and I met up with Chris, Wolf, and two of Wolf´s classmates, Andres and Hanna. Also, lo and behold, met up with another group of SAIS´ers. Afterwards, went to our Sushi favorite, SushiSushi, ordered 3 Volcano rolls. Then came back had beers, went out to listen to some good jazz in a DC classic, Bohemian Caverns.

Tomorrow - dim sum.

I cannot explain why. but she is!
As I sit writing this, Amy is sitting beside me posting up a much more detailed post.

Anyways, things have been great since Amy´s been back. Yesterday, we woke up late, cooked crepes for breakfast (our new favorite - new post-retirement plans: open up a tea and crepe shop, and then turn it into a franchise). Afterwards, we drove out to Alexandria, hoping that the rain would stay away at least for a little while (it turned out well for us - it rained a lot in DC but not out in VA). We walked all around old-town, up to the water, had bittersweet chocolate ice cream, had tea at a chocolate shop, looked at junk...er... antiques, walked in a few art shops, and a few "art" shops... a used book shop.

Then afterwards, it was off to our favorite store, Target. Bought some work shirts, and other stuff. Then we met up with Wolf, Amy´s German friend from Siemens, ate Pho, and then came back and had wine and beer, catching up.

T´was good.

I picked up Amy at the airport earlier today. I had a whole bunch of stuff planned to surprise her with, but then I didn´t plan enough time to set up everything. But I think she liked it nonetheless. She brought back a whole bunch of chinese buns that her mom made at home from scratch. I have to try to moderate eating them, because there´s only a limited supply. I was planning on cooking steaks for dinner, but now we might go out to chinatown instead to get some beef dried flat noodles (gan chao niu he)
