Hot child in the city...

I spent last weekend in the city with my dear friend Laura after dropping Joe off at JFK on Friday. Here are some photos of my weekend!

Friday night out with Laura and Marco

I also got to see Aunt Glenda and Marty for a little while on Saturday afternoon. We went to a great hummus place for lunch, and then walked around Central Park for a little while.

Saturday night I went out in NYC with Laura and El. We zigzagged around, from the Lower East Side, to the Meatpacking District, to Union Square, and we had (too much) fun. Here are some photos of our night:

Laura, El, me

Here are some pictures of me and the Casartellis when we went wake boarding at the Carlsbad lagoon. We had a lot of fun. it was Paul's first time wake boarding. He did a great job for a first time. He got up after only 2-3 attempts. It was Jimmy's second time wake boarding and although he was hesitant at first because he hadn't got up before, we pressured him into it and we were all happy he decided to try it again because he succeeded this time.

Auf Wiedersehen!

Joe is leaving for Europe tomorrow. He and our friend Liz will be in Zürich for a few days before heading to Konstanz, Germany for the Meisterklasse conference where they will each present a paper to their esteemed cultural sociologist colleagues. It will be his first time in Europe, and I'm really excited for him to experience it. I think he's most looking forward to the fact that there are free bike rentals in Zürich. Plus, the University of Konstanz is right on Der Bodensee (Lake Constance), and we've heard it's breathtaking, from all accounts. Let's hope he packed his Leder hosen!
