As a welcome reprieve from all the
recent chaos that is our lives these days, we had the pleasure
of an overnight visit on Wednesday from our friends Janet & Mark
from San Francisco. Upon their arrival in Albuquerque,
they were in the midst of a cross-country drive/move from San
Francisco to Washington D.C., where Janet has taken an
architecture position with a former employer. Janet's
husband, Mark, also an architect, is looking forward to
continuing his newfound 'International Man of Leisure' status
for the time being and has big plans to hold court at the local
coffee shop near their new apartment in the District.
We had a delightful time catching
up with the travelers, sharing meals and travel tales at El
Pinto New Mexican Restaurant and The Frontier, a famous
UNM area Albuquerque institution. We even had time to take
Mark & Janet on a quick tour of the new house.
The pair seemed happy and
relaxed; their current state of unemployment and life on the
road seems to suit them. Too bad it will all be over soon,
at least for Janet, when they arrive on the East Coast in a
couple days' time.
Best of luck to Janet & Mark as
they embark on their new East Coast life and aventures. We
look forward to returning the visit out in D.C. before too long!

attached i-phone (I admit, that thing is pretty cool...)
Ahhh, to be carefree and in love!
