Visits Home and to Surrey! Yay!

Joe and I just picked up our travels again (arrived in Delhi, India this morning and so far it is great) after 3 and 1/2 much treasured and wonderful weeks in the Western World- and at home!
We were in NJ (and made our way into NYC and beloved Brooklyn a few times) for 2 weeks, staying with my parents and sister Caroline and preparing for and celebrating my brother Patrick's wedding to Erin. It was such fun. Great to spend time with the family, see the extended family at the wedding, visit the Jersey shore and spend time with my graduate school ladies in Philadelphia! And not worry about getting stomach sick or being understood when speaking English!

We also attended Joe's friend Andy's wedding to Jen, which was a fun and artistically beautiful wedding at the Atlanta Contemporary Arts Center. Joe wore a tux! And Andy seemed so happy. Then, we were off to Sanibel where we spent time at Joe's mom's house and with his grandma, uncle and cousin, lounging at the beach and by the pool. It was 90 degrees and beautiful in FL which was good preparation for our arrival in India.

But before we touched down in Delhi, we spent four blissful days with my dear old (ASL) highschool friend Heather at she and her husband, Ian's, lovely house outside of London in Surrey. We ate at the pubs in their village and went on walks in the fields and woods near their home and also combined the two in an extended walk in Box Hill, Surrey, where we walked through the hills and forests before making our way to a 16th century pub for lunch!

Thanks to everyone who took such good care of us and made our time home (and in England) memorable and comfortable! We sure miss you when we are away.
