Oktoberfest and a new friend




Mia and I are completely exhausted.
We decided to check out the Oktoberfest celebrations in Harvard Square, and walked all the way over from Boston. Not only did we enjoy a nice long walk, but Mia also enjoyed all the sights and smells of dozens of food stalls, children and bands. I don't think she has much German in her, but she did seem to get a kick out of the attention she received from the hundreds of people in attendance. We debated buying a new hat or scarf, but ultimately decided to save our money.
After wandering through the stalls and people we met up with Laura, Andy and my darling dog-nephew Jack. They invited us to their house for dinner, hosting Mia with some delicious dog food while we human folk dined on an impressive "Torta Rustica" (vegetable filled bready casserole, of sorts).
Mia and Jack got along amazingly well, and they were both so sad to part ways. I've never seen a dog whom Jack has been so enamoured with!(though most animals, and people, take to Mia right away)! We had a wonderful evening and can't wait to have another play date with Mia's new boyfriend.

Thanks for coming by! Jack is just as exhausted. And it was great to meet the Mia we've heard so much about - she definitely adores you!
