So, we were driving out towards the coast with the idea of spending my mom and sister's last day with us there, but took a spontaneous detour off the highway to stop and say hello to Roberto, our dear friend and the director of the music conservatory where Bernardo teaches. Spontaneous detours are almost always brilliant. This one, of course, turned into the most beautiful, extended afternoon and meal in Roberto's home and breathtaking backyard...
The view from Roberto's yard
Having just arrived, sweet father and son shot
It doesn't take long for this one to get warmed up.
Happily passed from one to another, here with Aunt Fitzie
In the backyard, under the grapevines, watching the neighborhood goats feed
Good company, beautiful surroundings and Lula, Guinness' Spanish soulmate
I had to include at least one picture where you can appreciate some of the goat entertainment next door; and I love this image of Mateo and B.
Watching the goats and playing in the grapevines with Gram
This memory will make me smile for the rest of my life.
The whole group minus Mateo, on the terrace where we had lunch
What a lovely visit we had with these two, and how sad to let them go.
(...although if your mom and sister are going to leave you somewhere, Asturias makes a pretty wonderful place from which to miss them. I dream of some day living with our gaggle of children in one of those houses on the other side of the river there.)

So I assume Mateo took the shot in which he is absent? What talent. Also, is there another 10 month old with half the argyle of your son? Thank you Bernardo. Your mother and sister and you are so beautiful. Tell Auntie Fitzie that I am worried her genes are going to enable her to win the cuteness-off which will happen in October. October of 2009 that is.
