Campion Celebrity 2012

Friday night I hosted a end of semester/going away/holiday dinner for some of the "original group" that met within the first few weeks (and a few significant others that have joined throughout the semester). I'm sad that many will be leaving at the end of the semester, but have enjoyed their friendship over the last few months.

Lilian, Tatiana and I spent the afternoon making a delicious homemade lasagna and tasty salad. I had also make a cake for Mason's birthday and chocolate chip cookies as gifts, since they had been such a hit at Xochimilco at the beginning of the semester.

Saturday I went with a friend to Cuernavaca (about an hour and 15 minutes outside of the DF -- if there's no traffic) to celebrate Thanksgiving with a friend from Elon.

We spent some time wandering around downtown and at a craft market.

We also visited the Robert Brady house/museum. Brady was from the US and studied the fine arts. He traveled the world, collecting artwork which he then displayed throughout his house.

From there, we met up with Cindy (who I know from Elon) and made a trip to Costco for Thanksgiving dinner. We had rotisserie chicken, salad, fresh rolls and -- the best part -- pumpkin pie!
