This afternoon we ventured down to Keokuk, Iowa, to visit UC/AC, my favorite aunt and uncle. UC and AC have lived all over the world, and have absorbed a little bit of the culture from each country in which they have resided. Visiting their house and listening to them talk is like taking a world tour.
This evening we spent a few hours around the dinner table, enjoying a Japanese-inspired Teppan Yaki meal. The place settings on the table hail from all over Asia, and the table cloth came from Turkey. See what I mean?
We ate and ate, and then we ate some more. Conversation was easy as food sizzled on the grills. The girls were adventurous, trying several of the homemade sauces AC put together. Time seemed to stand still as we ate ourselves silly and laughed and talked the night away.
We finally retired to the Austria Room and enjoyed a good night's sleep.
What a fantastic world tour!
