In Which I have much Company

It was a very busy week! My sister came to visit last Friday for a few days. We had a great time. We went to the Smithsonian's Museum of the Native American. It was a very interesting museum. There was a visiting dance troupe from Peru, which was amazing to watch. We also had a delicious lunch of chicken tamales, vinagered purple potatoes, and quinoa salad, with a pine nut and rosemary tart for dessert. Here is a picture.

We also went to the Museum of Natural History, where we saw dinosaur fossils. That inspired me to watch all the dinosaur documentareies I could find on unitedstreaming.com. We tried to go to the Museum of American History, but it was so packed that there were lines to get into all the exhibits, with the exception of Julia's Child's kitchen.

Some friends from up North stopped by for dinner one night, so I had a full house. At some point, dining room furniture would probably be a good investment, but folding chairs, friends, and family are all it takes for a fun evening.
