Philippine bound
Today after the girls came back from church, we ventured into downtown Alameda for a terrific brunch at Ćera Una Volta. Then we strolled the local shops on Park Street until it was showtime at the newly renovated Alameda Theater. We enjoyed Iron Man but I got a stomach ache from all the popcorn. Our weekend with our lovely niece was …

We invited Tita Nellie and Doctors Ben & Paulette over for brunch and for whatever reason we decided to serve a five-course meal. Of course I forgot to take a single photo of the dishes. I was happy everyone …
