the bad and the good
I've had a full and rewarding weekend. But I have to start out with a funny story first.
I took the bus from the airport last weekend, back to my apartment. When I told my mom I was doing this, she freaked out and was like "isn't that a ghetto neighborhood? why don't you just take a taxi?" But it's $2 versus $25! So then she goes "ok, sit right next to the bus driver and be careful!!!" I get onto the bus, and the bus driver is this young guy who has no shame in looking me up and down and saying "Ooh, you're my future wife!" I was so stunned, I didn't even know what to say so I said "I don't think so..." and tried to feed my money into the lil machine as fast as I could. He goes "Why not?" and since I can't explain that to him if he has to ask, I said "Thanks..........." and walked away to the far far back end of the bus. ha.
Friday night, we had a double date:
Here are the boys looking silly. Dan made an AMAZING rack of lamb. It was perfectly cooked and tender. It was accompanied by chards with grapes and almonds, and potato puree. Dessert was the best bananas foster I've ever had. Again, melt-in-your-mouth perfect. I think this may have been Dan's best meal yet! and I feel very lucky that he shares his passion for food with us. It was a lovely evening, catching up and getting to know Meg.
On Saturday, the weather was beautiful and so we decided to walk to downtown... It was about 6 miles of breathtaking lakefront views and even though downtown looks far in this picture, we passed the time quickly. Two and half hours later, we were downtown and ravenous. :) We had brunch at the Artists' Cafe. A bit over-priced but good-tasting. We took the bus back, by the way...! In the evening, we had a triple date! Yes, I know, lots of socializing but with graduation approaching and all, I'm dreading having to say goodbye to anyone.
Today, however, it's been pouring and we're under severe tornado watch. I don't even know what a tornado is, to be honest. I'm from California. We don't have those. After getting lost a few times along the way, I made it to Joy's mom's brush painting exhibit which was impressive. Notice how we're all wearing skirts. That's us, not letting the weather get us down! :)
