A Walk in the Park

Steve and I walked our usual circuit through Whatcom Falls Park. Here are some of the photos I took along the way.

Visit from our Buddies Up North

DJ, Aiden and Kaelyn visited us yesterday. We had a wonderful afternoon together.

Visit with Malena

 So great to get to see our good friend Malena from Trujillo Peru this afternoon.

 We met at her friend Mirella's house and had a lovely time with Mirella and Mark. We all had dinner together at the Outback Steakhouse. Desert was a really yummy tiramisu that Mark made. He is an excellent cook. Malena hasn't changed a bit since we last saw her in 2007.

Trip to SAM to see Gauguin

We traveled with a group by train from Bellingham to Seattle 

We walked from the train station through Pioneer Square to the Seattle Art Museum

We ate lunch at Taste, the restaurant at the museum, then went in to see the Gauguin exhibit. I loved the exhibit, especially a set of woodcuts he made for a book that was never published. I couldn't take any photos of the Gauguin exhibit but took a few of other exhibits at SAM.

Afterwards, Jacqui, Vikki, Arvin and I walked a bit to get coffee and then took in an exhibit at a glass museum across the street from SAM. Then we went to Pike Place Market for a snack before we went back to catch the 6:20 train back to Bellingham.
