2019 travels
The neat system I had for uploading photos from my camera to the laptop doesn't work with my new laptop. So blogging while travelling didn't happen this year. Next year I will take the laptop with me.
But I didn't travel extensively this year.
At Easter we went to Kuala Lumpur for Easter weekend to help Pat celebrate his 90th birthday.

In August I went skiing with Margy because Jo was in KL working
In November we went to Auckland for a meeting of the World Bank Retirees.

Two days in Seattle
And they say that Melbourne weather is changeable! Seattle does it with more intensity. Yesterday was warm and sunny. Today is colder than it will be when we get home on Thursday. And wet too.
But it was great to see Sean who is on a minimalist kick. Jo helped by dropping one of his plates. Geoff and Sally drove down from Blaine to stay overnight and drive us further south to the airport. Considering pm here.
Their neighbours from Mukilteo days, Val and Alan Wegerman came to breakfast. She has just retired (95% as she still has a student or two to supervise) so they were in the mood to celebrate.

Two days in DC
Our hotel is in the embassy of small countries area of DuPont Circle. It has been interesting walking back and forth to the Metro.

Yesterday we had lunch in a French bistro in Kensington with Janet Stollnitz and Ruth Blau. And dinner in a Spanish place in Ballston with Vim and Charles Maguire.

Today we caught up, with the help of mobile phone talks, with Lois Dean at the Cezanne portraits exhibition at the Nat Gallery. Our way was impeded by a huge mass of bar-b-que enthusiasts.
Lois and Jo
Tonight we had a very good Indian meal locally.
Tomorrow morning we fly to Seattle. Thanks to an email from United we will only have to be at the airport 45mins before the flight. . . not the 2hours earlier that Jo had assumed. It makes a difference for an 8:30 flight from an aiport an hour’s drive away!
