A Day with the Countess

We're really delinquent on the old bloggity-blog lately but it's not our fault. We are exactly 2 weeks away from the end of our DF Days and so we are knee-deep in preparations for another international move -- in fact the movers come tomorrow so we're deep in the weeds of HHE, UAB, customs forms, veterinary certificates, etc, etc, etc...

For those who don't know, Sasha will attend the Foreign Service A-100 training class that starts June 22 so she and the dude will fly to DC a week early to settle in to our new digs in Arlington. Meanwhile, Sergio will be trailing behind doing "Travels with LouLou" across Texas and the South in the old station wagon.

Lucky for us, Sasha's mom has agreed to be a grand-nanny while Sasha gets schooled in diplomacy and later as we learn Polish. And to give you an idea what we're in for there, check out the Embassy website here, and then click on the word "Polski" at the top to read it in Polish. Done? Crazy, right?

Anyway, the posts might be a little sparse in the weeks ahead until we get settled in DC. IN the meantime, here's what will probably be our last day wandering around Condesa.

As usual, food was the main agenda. This place is famous for liver tacos.

We passed on the liver. We've eaten enough weird meats in our 2 years.

No afternoon in Mexico is complete (for Sergio) without ceviche and a michelada.

Dude agrees.

Mariachis always seem to find Ivan. Perhaps because he's fascinated by them.

There's a great playground in the Parque Mexico.

Sergio appears to have enjoyed it a bit too much.

Dang teenagers.

Dude's hair is, as usual, on point.
