Hi Everyone!
It’s waaay past my bedtime, but I just wanted to check in and 1) say hello, 2) report on the fun I’ve been having so far!
My flight was delayed for five very long hours on Friday. But I made it here in one piece and in time for Chloe’s beautiful graduation cocktail party, which was held at a historic B&B uptown. It was a fun evening, full of tasty hors d’ouevres (and an early dinner, which I ate when I got of my very delayed flight and got to the B&B), some much needed catching up with my second family (Chloe’s parents and sister) and a carriage ride around the French Quarter!
Today began with a yogadownload (Hip Opening Flow), and then brunch at Chloe’s. On the menu were fresh berries (so good!)
a quiche that Chloe’s sister made (inspired by Mark Bittman)
and a giant salad for me, which I forgot to photograph. The day culminated in Chloe’s commencement. Here’s a photo of us together!
And the day ended with an awesome treat: a meetup with Kath! Kath and I have been penpals and friends for a while now, so it was fantastic to finally hang out! I met her and Matt at a laid back, fun lounge in the Quarter. Here we are outside:
Then we made our way back to her hotel, where we hung out and chatted in the dining area for a while. Kath is just the way you imagine her to be: unbelievably smart, savvy, funny, and sweet. Not to mention beautiful! I am definitely hoping she comes to NYC to visit sometime soon — or that I make it to NC!
It was such a nice end to the evening — even if we both stayed up later than we meant to!
I am ending the post with a photo of me and the lovely graduate, of whom I am SO proud, outside at the cocktail party last night:
