Added note by Esther: Around noon today, we decided to leave tomorrow morning to deal with some stuff that needs to be taken care of in our old city. I've come to expect sudden changes in our schedule, but there's still that planner side of me that struggles with the spontaneity of life here...but ya gotta do what ya gotta do, right? So we'll be gone for a few days...kind of dreading the travel since we just got back a week ago, but I'm really excited to see old friends. Gotta get back to packing!
