Two more wonderful days in DC/Bethesda. One more day before I return home and more wonder friends to spend time with tomorrow plus another bike ride.
Today I got to spend time with KP, the man who got me started with strength training 6 years ago. I worked with him 2-5 times per week for 3 years until Covid hit. He was the perfect person for me – fun with lots of stories to distract. In the past 3 years, he went back to college and just graduated on Mother’s Day. I am so proud of his ability to get his degree while working 2 different jobs.
Two years ago when I was on my 6 week car trip I met Paco and Semi when they lived in DC. They now live in Bethesda and they seemed to remember me when I dropped by for dinner. Paco (wearing white) gives such gentle little licks and Sumi loves to play tug of war.
Last night we grilled salmon and sat on the back patio until well after dark. The temperature was perfect. It reminded me of evenings on our deck in Seattle. Lively conversation with food and wine.
On the wine tasting tour in Provence, Francois showed us the correct way to decork a bottle of wine and create a holder for the cork. The first bottle I tried it on did not work but the second one, I got it right. The foil was not quite as neat as his, but it worked.
Can’t wait for tomorrow.
