Late afternoon yesterday, my friends and I lounged by the pool at my apartment building, reading our books, napping, and generally living the life of leisure. As I lay there, looking up at the palm trees and blue skies, I realized for a moment just how lucky I am to be here, to have met such lovely people, and to have found such a nice home.(picture to the left: my building/pool)
Lounging (me, Nick, Lauren, Katie)
These lanterns are up by the pool because it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, which is a Chinese holiday. People often eat mooncakes on this occasion, which are a very sweet dessert.
Mooncakes?! You ARE lucky! Mooncakes are amazing!! Oh, and your apartment looks amazing as well!

ReplyDeleteYou live there? I hate you. No I don't, I'm just dying of jealousy! It is official: I am coming to visit and lounge by your pool with your palm trees and your moonpies. I'm fully serious. Tell me when to book my ticket.
