This past weekend Agustín’s cousins Pilar and Emilio spent a few days with us. Pilar is living in Washington DC for a few months and her brother Emilio is visiting her right now. They are only our second Spanish visitors since we moved to the U.S. five years ago, and we had a lot of fun showing them around.On Friday Agustín introduced them to suburbia with a long (and somewhat wet) bike ride around some local lakes and took them shopping for gifts to take home.
Saturday we went to the Gophers vs. NDSU football game then went to my parent’s house for dinner and a boat ride (boat rides, I guess I should say, as our visitors tested out the kayak and paddle boat as well); thankfully we had the most beautiful weather in weeks that very day.
Sunday we had burgers at a sports bar (one of Agustín’s favorite aspects of U.S. American culture) and took a very windy walk on Nicollet mall (in Minneapolis) before Emilio and Pilar headed back to DC.
