St. Louis

We are in St. Louis with Ivan and Joanna and Eva. We took
Eva to the Botanical Gardens yesterday and learned she could read the plaques. Amazing, yes, but you know how smart her parents are. Ivan and Joanna bought an adorable brick tudor style house in an all brick neighborhood here in St. Louis. I have never seen so many brick houses in my life and they are all different. Today we took Eva to the park which is half a block away. She was Miss Social, running up to greet all the newcomers to the park. She went down a slide I would have had the courage for when I was seven or eight. Ivan has a job as a research scientist at the Danforth Institute which is funded by the FDA. Joanna has several large editing projects going from home. It has been wonderful to just relax and enjoy the family. Last night we did go out to eat at a Greek restaurant in the neighborhood. We are off to San Miguel on Thursday morning and should arrive late in the afternoon after a stop over in Houston. I will pick up the blog from there.
