PatrĂcia was our exchange student from Portugal when I was a sophomore in high school. It had been nine years since she was here, so a visit was long past due. I took this portrait of her in my living room in Chicago.
Yesterday I moved out of Chicago...finally! I had been looking forward to a change of scenery for a long time, but I will miss the city. Especially the grittiness of it, the old buildings and cracked sidewalks. And also the greenery. Next stop: Brazil, then on to Austin, Texas!
I went down to Austin, TX to visit some friends there last month. Clara surprised me with the news that she is five months pregnant! You can't really tell in this picture, but I liked it because she looks so good! I can't wait to meet my fairy god child...
