Friday

We spent a couple days on Long Island visiting Palma's people. We stayed with her Aunt Lucy, a dynamite lady in her mid 80s who is sweet as can be. We visited with cousins, nephews and their children. Great fun! Today we took the train into the city and we are now at our daughter's place in Brooklyn. Funny thing is that Palma's dad grew up right around the corner from here. Weather is lousy and is expected to get worse tomorrow and Sunday. We went to what is becoming our favorite restaurant near our daughter's place. Acqua Santa in Williamsburg, a very good italian trattoria. Tomorrow we hope to go to the Queen Sofia Spanish Institute to view the exhibit Treasures Along the Route of Santiago de Compostela.
Ultreia!
