Update

Our last batch of summer guests passed through this past weekend. Old friends from my Mexico days, the girls and I had a great visit though it was a little short and made even shorter by my having to work. We checked out the Chicano exhibit in Pilsen which was really interesting and got some 'authentic' Mexican food. Snob that I am, I believe one may have to go south of the border for truly authentic mexican food or perhaps to someone's kitchen. Restaurants try to create those flavors, but home cooking is pretty hard to duplicate. One guest stayed longer than the weekend and was intrepid enough to explore the city by foot while I was at work and to go salsa dancing at night.

William and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary before our guests arrived this past weekend. We had a lovely dinner of vietnamese/french food, William's choice, and enjoyed a night of theatre at the Lion King. Nice to know we can still pull out all the stops for each other. :)

This weekend we'll be heading out to our first Indian baby shower. There will be about 300 people in attendance. Impressive, no? I am sure it will be an occasion to remember. I will try to include more details later...that is if I survive the event and am not trampled in the stampede to the buffet.
