having had fun

we had a marvelous time with claire, and i got to do some tourism in boston that i have been meaning to do since we arrived (namely the freedom trail) you know, the balcony where the declaration of independence was read from, paul revere;s house & the church where they hung the " one if by land two if by sea" lanterns, and a bunch of other stuff too. we were stopped on boston common by a group of greeks that wanted to take a picture of lucas.. i guess because he's blonde (that'as happened before to him), and once they found out he was born in athens - three other cameras came out, amid hollers of "einai ellenos!", and "na sou zisei" for ruby. it was fun to brush off myu modest greek. i felt pretty smart i have to admit, despite having only learned a few phrases in the two years we were there// haha.

ive been hanging out with some really nice girls & their kids lately. its always so easy and free and interesting to hang out with them, and the kids seem to enjoy each other too.. feels nice to have some local girlfriends finally, even if two of them are moving away soon.. "better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all" you know...

ps. april photos are up on the "current pix" now.
pps. joyeux anniversaire a ma belle-soeur au jourd'hui!!! j'espere que tu as un an tres agreeable!
