Weekend Visit
by Zia ~ March 1st, 2006. Filed under: Ephemera.From 1981 to 1983, we lived in Nigeria. Embassy housing put us in a three-unit complex, each of the identical apartments stacked on top of each other in a compound with a huge magnolia tree and a guard who spent most of his time napping under it. We lived in the middle unit; Nuel lived on the top floor and Laura lived on the bottom. Nuel just visited my mother in North Carolina, and strangely enough, Laura just retired to Bellingham and spent a long weekend with us.
It was a nice visit: We did a lot of the things that have been on the to-do list. We went to the Asian Art Museum, which just reopened, and to the Tacoma Glass Museum. Tried a new Indian restaurant in Renton, Naan ‘n Curry, which despite its remarkably uninspired name, has the best Indian food I’ve had in the States. Went to a new Italian restaurant kitty-corner from the Melrose Grill, which Steve and I have been meaning to go into for a few months. And there’s my excuse for not posting for a while.
