This afternoon (after mourning Brasil's loss to the Netherlands in the World Cup), we had an incredibly enjoyable afternoon at the Beltran-Castañeda home. Lunch was spectacular - carmelized pear and blue cheese salad, beef medallions in maracuya (passion fruit) sauce, twice baked potato pie, brownies and ice cream... deliciosisimo! We stayed the entire afternoon and had such a nice visit - time goes by so quickly when we are with them.

Jairo Andres brought treats for Mateo and Francesca - little tea cakes shaped like a chick, frog and pig
