Hey everybody!!!!  This week was full of events!  I turned two months old and our buddy Orlando from Honduras came to visit.  We know the great Orlandini from Michigan State.  Now he has a job back home with the Millenium Challenge Corporation.  He was in Washington for a conference and was able to stop by.  We hope you can come again soon!

Here is a picture of my cake!  Pretty cool, huh?

We had a real fun party.  Lucky Orlando could stop by to make it even more fun!

Dear everyone,  Originally I intended for this blog to be a chance for you to see photos of my families in France and in the United States, as well as learn about where I live.  Well, things have been pretty busy, so up until now I haven't had a chance to post everything I wanted to. 

Anyways, I live in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington DC.  Shaw is a great place that fortunately and unfortunately is undergoing rapid gentrification.  I could tell you about it, but its best to see the pictures.  I'll try and update it as I get more interesting shots of my neighbors and their lives over time.  In the meanwhile, here are some pictures of the things on my street and close by...

Shaw has got a little bit of everything.  Check out our neighborhood cafe... Mom feels like she's back in the old country.

When we aren't idling our hours away sipping lattes and discussing Sartre, you might also find us hanging out in front of one of the numerous purveyors of distilled spirits...

or possibly regretting some of our previous indiscretions at one of our local churches.  Our street has more churches than any other neighborhood I have seen...

Like most neighborhoods, we have alleys...

abandonned houses...

and all sorts of chinese take out places...

On saturdays, we like to go for chilli dogs at Ben's.  Its just 5 minutes away on U street...

Of course, the best part about Shaw is that all our neighbors are super friendly.  You have already seen my video of Loretta.  Here are some pictures of some of the neighbor's houses.  I think they look really cool...

Here is a picture of Chez moi... home sweet home.  Our apartment is in the basement...

One Saturday night my parents took me to a Korean Restauant for dinner.  The owners Mr. and Mrs. Bae were very nice to me.

Mrs. Bae took me for a walk all over Mt. Pleasant and introduced me to everyone on the street.  Afterwards, they gave me a Korean Massage on the sushi counter!  It was great!
