Had the Pakistani farewell last night. Had a great time visiting with friends and eating traditional Pakistani food. Great food !!

As a parting gift Decy recieved a Serapi (?) ... wrap shawl that had a beautiful pattern ... one side was primarily greens and the other side primarily reds ... I jokingly said that meant "yes" and "no" .... regarding romance ... so Decy could merely choose which color was on the outside and I would instantly know her intention.  Decy also received a handmade necklace from S. Africa.  For me, I received a beautiful book about Pakistan ... what a wonderful looking country.

As for tonight, Tuesday, this is our official company farewell.  It is scheduled for now (rather than in August) so that Decy and the girls can attend.  I have selected the restaurant "O'caril" which is an Indian food restaurant.

... between events, I'm working 14+ hours.

ciao ciao
