Five weeks of reconnecting with family got to see all of them even, Gus, Dario and Natasha, my cousin Mario from Mar del Plata who we got to see for a brief 2 days in Miami, my bambies Jackie and Ingrid, Danny, visiting uncle Mike & Tata and my cousin Alex in Philadelphia, a stop in New York, the big apple, were we got to see my dear friends, Chris and his beautiful family, Megan and Karen, and then we went 20years back, yep this summer Greg and I had our 20th high school reunion in Connecticut we visit our old homes, the school, Greg’s host family and great friend Richard, his wife Tara and they’re new baby boy, we spent a great afternoon with Mary and her beautiful family along with Gillian and the boys at the Wee Burn Beach Club, saw all of The Engel’s and spend the most wonderful morning in a magical Island, spent some time with my dear friend Andy who made it all the way from Zurich, and then the fun part…we got to see almost our whole class of 86…So this is a little e-mail thanking all of you our family and dear friends for having had made our summer so special, and also letting you all know what an awesome time it was to be with all of you, you all look amazing, you have created beautiful families, and it seems as all of you are also doing great in your lives, and I can’t tell you how happy and great it was to go back, when people ask me what did you expect it to be like, who were you looking forward in seeing etc…to tell you the truth living so far I was just so happy to be able to go this time and seeing everyone that I saw just brought back so many great memories, I mean I arrived to Darien when I was 12 and did from Hollow Tree, to Middlesex Junior High, to Darien High School there so that’s a couple of years a great deal of friends, and I must say you all look awesome, so to my friends here is too you! I hope we’ll be able to make the next one, but for the time being let’s try to keep in touch, and know that if you’re ever in Paris, France we would love to take you out so just give us a ring…

Having fun....

Well we have been having fun, enjoying the family, the sun, and the pool…and yes how could I leave out that monstrosity of ‘‘The Mall’’…just the other day we were taking about how much we are really loving Aventura I’m really happy my parents are out here, it really is great fun and young.
Sunday we did Lincoln Road, had lunch at Rosinnella’s an Italian restaurant that has become our Sunday place now for several years , we know the owners pretty good and it’s fun to catch up… now every other Sunday on Lincoln Road they have like a ‘‘marche’’ ( a market) fruit, flowers etc, it’s quite fun, and always what we love of Lincoln Road is that all the doggies are out on they’re walks so the kids love the show, and it sure is a show , some are all dressed up , some even have they’re hair dyed, it’s too cute …
This week we saw one more film John Tucker, too funny! A high school flick, Chloé loved it.
Last night Jackie and her husband Jonathan (one of my good friends out here) invited us to her house for a drink and then out to dinner. They just finished the house and it looks unreal, very Tuscany with a twist of modern but done in such a way with rich colours that it’s very cosy and warm, I just loved it and what impeccable details, Bravo! my friend…then we headed out to Quattro a new restaurant on 1014 Lincoln Road it just opened two days ago, Gastronomia Italiana, Great place I strongly recommend if your in the area, we had a great time catching up.
Well tomorrow we are off to Philadelphia to see my uncle and god father Mike, my aunt Tata and my cousin Alejandro for two days before heading out to New York and then Connecticut we’re were going for our 20th High School Reunion…We’ll keep you posted…It’s sure going to be fun catching up with old times….
