We went to the Marine Corps birthday ball last night, a black tie event that takes place around the world and drew about 300 people.
We got dressed up! And took a self-portrait!
We have sliding glass doors all around the apartment, and no screens. Mostly this is lovely for breezes and great views. Sometimes, visitors enter. One day a bird, last Friday night -- MOTHRA!! This guy is about 4 inches across, and when Mark shooed him out of the apartment, he looked like a bat!
Click on the photo to see the beauty. And hugeness.
Wednesday is Veteran's Day, the embassy is closed, and we are getting screens installed that day. Whew! Just in time for my scaredy-cat bug phobia, I've just about had it with birds and bugs and mothra in the apt...
I expected to see pictures of you and Mark covered in mud and I get you dressed to the 9's! Glad you’re warm and dry. Jody and I have stayed and dined at the Santo Domingo in Antigua and share your enthusiasm. Your place to Antigua isn't a road trip everyone would want to make. Keep the blog coming. One of your fans in A2
ReplyDeleteGreatly relieved to know that you are OK. Sorry to hear there were casualties. You two look marvelous in your dress up clothes. I hope the party was fun.
ReplyDeleteWe have had some fabulous weather here in Chicago. Caliente. I think we have seen the last of it and now it's time to welcome winter.
We'll talk soon. Love -Maria
We need news of you 2.
