Caturday!

Sorry it’s taking me so long. Lots happening, and only halfway through writing my travel log from last weekend. To amuse you while I’m busy, here’s a pair of cat photos: (This entry backdated to appear as a Saturday post.)

Harpers Ferry Preview

We’re back from Harpers Ferry. It’ll take me a bit longer to write about our honeymoon and upload and caption and tag the rest of the photos, so enjoy these sneak peeks for now: Back soon with more photos and a detailed travel log.

Having lunch at Mie N Yu, an Asian ‘fusion’ type place in Georgetown. This raised birdcage is a booth you can eat in, apparently for a $600 minimum. Shaq ate up there once. Me, I’m in a yurt. Lunch is crab rangoon and Vietnamese lettuce veal wraps. (MienYu.jpg uploaded by brownpau.)

Whoa. This is a rest room? Wide open universal washing chamber, with doors to toilet booths. Barrel sinks too. Splashy. (MienYu2.jpg uploaded by brownpau.)
