After a whole week of rain, the weather brightened up on Monday, which was a day off, due to Columbus. Thank you Columbus for finding America and giving us a public holiday mid October.
We planned a barbecue for some of our friends and it was a lovely afternoon. It was a great mix of people as well. One of Alastair's friends from Indonesia (who now lives in DC) came with her daughter and my friend Eliana from the "spouse - job seeking group" came with her husband (who works with water at the World Bank) and her 2 daughters. Eliana just proves how small the world is. We ended up at the same table at that first day of job-hunting, and it turned out she had lived in Sweden for 3 years. Her husband worked in the office opposite Alastair's office in Stockholm and they know the same people! Finally another friend of Alastairs from the Bank joined with her husband.
All the girls played well together despite some language problems, which gave us a nice afternoon with food and drinks and a lovely cake baked by Eliana.
