Mike and High Tea

My adorable 'brother' Mike and I here in DC.  I had randomly sent him a message on facebook (which I rarely do) and mentioned that I missed him and wanted to know when he could come see me.  Well as luck would have it, he was flying in that day from Amsterdam and had a layover here.  I was SO excited to see him!!!  We talked for hours and could have gone on longer, but I had to get home because I had to work the next day.  He is just so fun.  He compared himself to the winnie the pooh characters.  He is tiger--hilarious conversation!
I had purchased a High Tea Groupon.  I have wanted to do High Tea forever and it was the perfect opportunity.  It was at a Marriott hotel in DC.  It was beautiful and classy. 
Both Gana and I had our own yummy pastries and sandwiches.  The tea was delicious!  I would love to go again.
This is Gana and I afterward our High Tea experience.  We were going to meet up with Aala'a too, but her child had an emergency so she couldn't come.  Gana had changed jobs in October so I hadn't seen her since then.  It was so fun to catch up.  Afterwards we went on a walk around DC on a circuitous route to the metro.  It was at sunset so it was pretty and not cold.

After High Tea I was meeting Tom at the metro to go to a party with him and his friends.  Something had happened to the train so we had to wait a long time on the tracks.  Tom had to wait for me at the metro for an hour.  I felt so bad!  One (of the many) great things about Tom is that he is very patient and understanding.   Poor guy, he was starving by the time I got there.  We went to dinner and then to the party.  One of his friends has had a very similar education and career experiences.  It was fun talking to her as we really seem to be following the same career path.  I wanted to know what I would be doing next as she's a few steps ahead of me.  :)  --Fun day.
