A day with Alison, Pam & the gang

Alison, Marta's sister, has arrived from Angola (Africa), where she works for USAID, and we all spend a looong day together, walking our feet off.

A perfect hot-spicy lunch at Baluchi's on Queens Boulevard. (Ivan doesn't like Indian food and stayed at home. Danny's shooting most of the pictures, so he's nowhere to be seen...)

Bruce (Alison & Marta's dad), his wife Mayte, and Ali

The hat with ears. It saved my life this year in sub-zero temperatures!

One long metro ride to Manhattan

We all watch Bruce's pole-dance

The beauties and the geek.
