Going back

I had a really nice time visiting Sena, and now I'm heading back home. It was nice to spend a few days with her, with no plans and no agenda, just do what we want when we felt like it. We slept late and ate out at a lot of great places, and watched Harry Potter last night.

My bus ride back home was good, and I actually enjoyed the fact that we got stuck in NYC for quite a while due to traffic. This city always gives me a good feeling, especially around Christmas time, and today it looked really pretty with all the decorations already put up.

These are a couple of pictures from Bread Furst, a really cute café Sena and I spent some time at.

In DC

Started the day with breakfast at Tatte, my favorite French bakery ☕🥐❤️

Then we went to a Christmas market 🎄

Next, a plant store to decorate Sena's room.

Then, Cuban for lunch, and Sena headed to work in the afternoon.

I walked around the warf for a while afterwards. It was really pretty, all lit up.

And, to top it all off, I found and bought Miyazaki's latest novel. I'm so excited and grateful for this day.

Peace

Thanksgiving in DC!

Yesterday, we had a half day at school, as Thanksgiving break began.  Aiyana and I headed to EuroDeli in Rocky Hill to get some Romanian and Turkish food. Then, we stopped by The Hartford Baking Company and had a treat. But the real treat was spending time together, listening to music and feeling light hearted in the car.

Today, I am on my way to DC to see Sena. Ed and Aiyana are staying in CT to spend Thanksgiving with his parents.

I am very thankful and excited to get a few days to see Sena and relax together. I brought my books and journal, and I want to go to visit the National Gallery, and Sena and I are planning to go to some cafes, and a Turkish restaurant and a Christmas market. I will be returning to CT on Saturday afternoon, just before school begins again on Monday.

Here are a couple of pictures from yesterday, and I will post more as the weekend unfolds.

Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate, and if not, have a great weekend!

I recently discovered the Turkish drink Salep. Wow! I stocked up and am bringing some to Sena in DC.
