It is true we have had strange sleeping patterns on this trip, especially in countries that have a "siesta" schedule. This explains Charles taking a 2:30-4:00 AM walk. Nicole was still awake to say goodbye to him, and Dian was up early enough to welcome him back!
In other news, Dian dyed her hair again. She had had her fun as a blonde, but it was time to go back to her "roots" as a redhead. It was perhaps a little brighter than expected, but Dian wore it well and it seemed to suit her complexion that looks nice with fall colors and earth tones.
Another day of catching up, doing art and reading, we readied the big box of holiday gifts we were sending to Dian's parents to distribute when the time came, and hold a few presents back for themselves! After leaving a message for Chris and Christina back home, we met up with Don who walked us over to Bill and Claire's for dinner.
Although they apologized for breaking the dinner party rule of "never making something you've never made before," the oven-baked salmon, vegetables a la Don, wine and more were DELICIOUS. The couple had a great dynamic and were very funny, not to mention good at telling stories. We enjoyed the evening very much, and loved admiring the plethora of postcards, giraffes and other art scattered around the house.
