...were made for walkin and that's just what I'll do!!Keep an eye out for me and come say hi if you recognize me... I'll be wearing an AYUDA t-shirt and shorts so my Casperthefriendlyghost legs can get some color.
On another note. Today, I went to the EU Open House of the Embassies here in DC. My favorites were Portugal, Bulgaria and Latvia. Ireland was highly disappointing and Luxembourg is hardly worth mentioning. Bulgaria really got into it, as I think they all should have. Really showed off their culture with people dancing in traditional garb in the street and upon entering there was a table with Bulgaria wine and apps. Yall should know by know I love wine. Portugal was also very interesting. They showed a quick film about Portugal... enticing me to want to catch the next flight out... and the Ambassador was actually there, shook his hand and listened to him speak briefly and learned that he really likes pens.... I even won a t-shirt. They also had a delicious Portugese port wine and a special pastry cake thing. Latvia was neat because the embassy itself is obviously very old and I love creaky old wood floors... it was decorated in a very gothic style with great art throughout. If you're in the area when they do this next year I would highly recommend visiting those embassies. Next weekend some others are open so maybe I check them out too... who knows... we shall see.
Well... time to rest up hope to see you in the AM!!

I didn't see you at the walk! I was looking for the AYUDA shirt!
Funny -- my parents went to the EU embassies open house, too!
There were sooo many people there! Had I been with a team and wore bright orange shirts like "Sara's Soldiers" or the cute blue ones for "Bailey's Buddies" I think it would have been easier... I was just one among many. Did you enjoy the walk? It was a lovely day!
Hey! I can't believe that was your FIRST walk! I've been to two and had a blast at both of them. It's a special event. Congrats on reaching your goal. Hope you had fun!
