First over-night guest

We have had our first over-night guest and our first dinner at the dining table. Chaia who I worked with in Sydney stopped by on her tour d'US. She decided to make a detour on her way from New York to Delaware and stay the night with us. Much appreciated!
I cooked dinner on the scary cooker - especially so, as I used all burners at once to create a meal consisting of: Mango chicken, chili and garlic chicken and fish with creamed spinach, cheese and chili. It seemed to work - perhaps I will get used to it at some point.
Friday we did a whistle-stop tour of DC and Virginia, exploring some touristy part of DC then having lunch at Founding Farmers. A really nice place in the business district which we tend to go to when we can get a table. We had to compromise and show up for a very early 11:15 - but it is almost impossible to get a table at a decent time there without booking weeks in advance.

However, eating early had one advantage, I had time to giver her an extra state before she extra fast tourist had to move on. We hopped on the metro to Old Town, Alexandria, Virginia and had a quick beer at Murphy's Pub.

Chaia rushed off after that towards the next state on the list. Visit was highly appreciated though. Below today's tracks (bus into tourist area, short walk around the white house, lunch and after-lunch trip to Alexandria).
