I hope you're all enjoying your summers and are excited for the return to Richmond. This summer I have been working about 5-6 days a week as a hostess and counter server at a gourmet French/Italian restaurant called Sovana Bistro. It's just a mile away from my house so it's really convenient. The owner/executive chef there, however, is pretty cool because he uses local produce and dairy whenever possible and changes the menu seasonally, so the food we serve is fresh and local. One part of the menu is a 100-mile menu meaning all the dishes are made from foods sourced within 100 miles of the restaurant. Pretty neat.
Besides my job, I have been keeping busy by enjoying this gorgeous weather. I joined at summer frisbee league (as Sally said) and she and I have games every Monday and Wednesday night. Playoffs are next week so I'm really excited!! We'll let you know how our team does. I have also been kayaking on the Brandwine River, which is a pretty big river about 15 mins from my house. My dad's real big on kayaking so he tries to recruit me to go with him almost every weekend.
My big summer trip was a road trip to Canada with 4 of my friends from high school. We drove up in a minivan and stayed at my friend's grandmother's guest cottage in St. Gabriel. It's absolutely gorgeous up there. It was my first time going to Canada and I loved it! I hope I can go back again soon.
I can't wait to get to know everyone! It sounds like we have a really great group of people. Unfortunately I doubt I'll be able to make the camping trip because I'm an OA this year and we have a packed schedule. I'm really bummed about it because the trip sounds like so much fun and it's been too long since the last time I've gone camping, but I hope you all enjoy it and you'll have to fill me in on all the details.
See everyone soon!!
