We’re moving to Cambridge. We put our place in Roslindale on the market 2 days ago (see the listing) and we’ve already got a signed offer for the asking price. They want to close in 3 weeks, so things are moving pretty fast…
We’ll be checking out a lot of condos in Cambridge this weekend, hopeing to find the one.
Nathan and I went for lunch at the Oriental de Cuba last Tuesday. We had a papaya drink, some empanandas and platanos. Yum. I was sad to read over someone’s should on the T that the restaurant was burned down, a case of arson. I love that place!
Tonight Lisa and I had dinner at Sophia’s Grotto in Roslindale. The people at the adjoining tables were discussing the case of El Oriental. Apparently the word at Doyle’s is that it was a disgruntled employee who threw a molotov cocktail through the restaurant’s window. Apparently the City of Boston is going to help the restaurant owners get the business going again. Man do I hope so.
Lisa, Nathan and I visited the Hi-Lo for some Colombian supplies this morning, so I stopped outside and snapped a photo of el Oriental - it’s looking like its going to be a little while before they reopen.
Lisa was clearing some stuff out of the front room, and found my harmonica. She gave it to Nathan and he began practicing immediately. Here’s Nathan’s first harmonica recital (quicktime - 270k). We both really love his little flourish at the end.
