Karen Visits France

Our lovely friend, Karen was back in Paris for business last week. We convinced her she had to stay through the weekend and come to Brittany with us. We are such cruel friends! Greg killed a crab for her for lunch. In the first photo Karen is showing her bike injury. It was much worse than it appears to be in the photo, but always a trooper, she got right back on the bike after the accident.

U.S.--Back in Morningside Heights

We spent our last two nights in NYC at our crazy-awesome friends, Alana and Xander’s apartment. They live in our old building in Morningside Heights. I guess we were really overwhelmed by memories because we forgot to take a photo of Alana and Xander (we also forgot their house keys in Lititz, but they’re such nice people, they gave us another set without a word). Instead we took photos of their two cuddle cats who decided out suitcase was the best place in the entire apartment to sit as soon as we arrived.

U.S.--Greg LOVES Dim Sum

Our friends Joyce, Don, and Michael joined us for dim sum one afternoon at Greg’s favorite restaurant in Chinatown. The place is really huge and the food is great.

U.S.--Two Nights in Brooklyn

We returned to NYC for our last weekend in the U.S. We spent two days in Brooklyn with our super-cool friends Nate and Paul. We drove past a pile of burning garbage on our way to their loft in Brooklyn and Greg couldn’t help taking a photo. Here is a photo from their living room window too.

We found this vending machine outside a gas station on our drive back to NYC. Greg had to pose for a picture next to it. Yes, it does really dispense live worms for fishing bait.

U.S.--Going to Lititz, PA

We spent the week with my parents in Lititz, PA. Greg took a few photos from the car of the scenic rural landscape and a few more of our evening at the local 4th of July celebrations. Yes, that’s me standing inline for lemonade, a blurry photo Greg took of my parents and a photo of Brooke and me.

U.S.--Our Weekend in Harlem

Greg and I were in the U.S. for ten days. We spent our first weekend with our wonderful friends in Harlem, Marne and Todd. They fed us great food and treated us like royalty, but really, we were there just to hangout with their gorgeously adorable pets, Bijou (the cat) and Marcel (the dog).

On our last day in Amsterdam, the rain finally stopped. We rented bikes and rode out into the country side for 4 hours.

We took a long weekend off from work and went to Amsterdam for 4 days. It was cold and rainy the entire weekend, but we still had a great time, going to museums, cafes, the movies...
