Day 132

February 5, 2011

So, February 4 got somewhat sacrificed for the park pictures I put up on Day 131.  Still trying to figure out if I can get more pictures on this blog without buying more space. Or if I'm going to look for another blogging venue or what. Not sure. 

I did a bunch of research on Friday. This is what I hate about researching things on the internet: it takes forever!!! Finding an answer to your specific question while rooting through far too much information on others' questions that are similar but not quite the same as your own, there's no one to call or actually speak to, you decide maybe you'll send an email asking the help forum when your child wakes up after only an hour because he's having a bad dream. Nothing has been accomplished except that your blood pressure is higher than before the futile search. Not a fan. So, no pictures yet. 

Skyped Mimi and Pop Friday evening. Jacob asks to talk to them a lot and we needed something to help pass the time. That was nice. Good to feel like I had a little company.

As for Saturday, we had a relaxing day. And Fraser and I got to go on a date!!!!!! Only the second one we've been on since being out here. The last date we went on was in October. Well, I guess we did see Harry Potter when it came out in November, but that was so short, just seeing the movie. It didn't really feel like we were spending time together. 

We went downtown, stopped at the Rogue Brewery for some tasty beer. Then went over to a restaurant called Andina. Peruvian food although I think there are very few people in Peru who actually eat this well. It was amazing. So delicious. We had some yellowfin ceviche to start. Fraser had some superb steak and I had another yellowfin dish. Wonderful, melt in your mouth tastiness. Beyond great food, it was just wonderful to get out of the house together, enjoy each other's company, complete full sentences and thoughts without being interrupted by a little boy wanting something. We decided we should try and do it more often.
