August 11

Today, MA and I had a delightful stroll and lunch in the Stevens Avenue oper-air mall. It is 8th Ave. blocked off and there are musicians, vendors and and sidewalk restaurants. It was a spectacular day and we enjoyed the atmosphere.
Later we had dinner at the home of Pam and Roly Cumberland, friends of Sylvia, Edgar and Javi. There we about 25 people there and we ate cold ham, turkey, beef and vegetables out on the patio overlooking their five acres.
