Weekend Update

So, we're back! After a busy month or so, I've finally gotten around to sharing some of the awesome things we've been up to. First up: our surprisingly busy weekend. It's amazing how much fun stuff you can do when you don't have a whole house to take care of!

This weekend was so busy in part because our neighborhood hosted the Eat Real Fest, an amazing spread of food vendors of all types.

We walked down to the fest for lunch on Friday and Saturday, and had some tasty food:

Lamb poutine--smoked lamb, fresh goat cheese, tangy spicy gravy and fries--so glad Michael and I got one each!

Vietnamese beef pho rolls--spicy beef with herbs in a noodle wrapper.

There were all sorts of stalls with goodies, from chocolates and wine to salsa and pickles. Speaking of which, Michael got a whole bowl of pickles to sample from Happy Girl Kitchen Co--his idea of heaven!

On Sunday, to counteract thus gluttony (did I mention there were popsicles and pastries involved as well?) we went for a 9 mile hike at Lake Chabot Regional Park, which had some lovely views for a park a mere 20 minutes from our apartment:

It was a fun, and a little tiring, weekend. As we get out more I'll try to post more--and maybe one day we'll actually have this apartment in a fit state to be photographed!
