Boston-February 25, 2006



Steve and I took another unexpected trip up to Boston. This time it was for major celebrations: Liesel getting job at Oxfam, Olivier returning from France, Steve being promoted, and Steve and I getting engaged.

Our day started in Lexington, MA at chez Diolosa where it was snowing and cold, but that did not stop us from having a good time.

Liesel and Olivier out in the cold snow. Lexington was picturesque in the snow.

In honor of the celebrations, we went to a delicious dinner at Sel de la Terre, a French (or possibly Belgian) restaurant in downtown Boston. Everyone was pleased with their meals: options were lamb, venison, or chicken among others. Desserts were post-dinner cocktails, like whiskey coffee, and a collection of desserts for us all to try: creme brule, chocolate mousse, cookies, ice cream and other fine pastries.


Looks delicious!



Way to present the main course, Steve.



I'm enjoying my dessert!



After the meal, it was time for us to hit the bars. Our bar of choice was: Bar 10, the hotel bar in the Westin. Here we held a few photo-ops:

The old Angora crew: Steve, Jaren, Charles.

Before Steve and I departed Boston on Sunday, we went to brunch at Angora Cafe in our old stomping grounds around the Sutherland T stop. It was fun to reminisce about all the time we spent in that cafe.
