It's been a couple of years since Cravat Infidel knotted his tie and boldly strode the streets of foreign cities, following his curiosity and stomach whither it lead him (predictably into strange restaurants).
This journey is for the occasion of my niece Charlotte's 2nd birthday, with my sister Amelia and her husband Tim at their charming new home in Montlake, Seattle. Our dear mother Sophie--whom we have not seen for several months--has also flown over from Muscat, so it is a real family reunion. None of us a year ago would have predicted this! As I said, their new home is charming, and Amelia has worked her uncanny shopping powers to furnish the house almost entirely! Couches, beds, chairs, linen, lamps, washer, dryer, etc, all from garage sales and op-shops. Not to mention quilts!
My rough itinerary is Seattle-San Francisco-Los Angeles-Chicago-New York City. The exchange rate is not as good as it was a month ago, so it looks like I won't be doing quite as much shopping as I had planned.
