So about that August!

In the rush of life lately, August has gone unnoted here. That is a mistake. It was a big, big month. The biggest: after a lot of stress, I passed my qualifying exams! There was much rejoicing, but no publishable photos of said rejoicing. =)

There was also a lot of tasty summer food, and some excursions to new restaurants. Abay is an Ethiopian place down the street that had really fun finger food (pictured), and Spoon was a favorite as well.


We also got around town to get an update on how tall the agave plant at Phipps is (tall enough for duct tape!) and to check out a behind-the-scenes tour at the Pittsburgh zoo (say hi to Louis).


Even bigger travel news to come. Enjoy some sunsets in the meantime.
