It was a short but very full week!

Exhausted after the Solstice Party, I took most of the holiday week off, turning things over to the Other Personality in the atomic world. Friday saw me back in the social swing, with a *full* day. Saturday was unforgettable, as we opened the Extropian Embassy in Al Andalus with a great party, then went right into Extropia's first Town Hall meeting.

There was a lot distateful about the past few days, but I have my family, and we are strong.

Relations between Extropia and Al Andalus take off!

Monday night the Chairman, galatea_gynoid, and I went to Al Andalus to close the deal to buy property for the Extropian embassy there.  Michel Manen *almost* upsold us on a *fantastic* apartment right at the entrance to the Jewish Quarter, but it was really more space than the Embassy needed.  We went with the property I'd picked out, at the back of Samuel Ha-Nagid Square, destined to be the site of some *serious* multinational festivities!

The first Andalusian citizen we met was a two meter tall silver demoness wearing about 10 square centimeters of armor plate - and a cloak!  Ummm, not that I stopped to flirt with Carolyn for 10 minutes, then had to run to find Michel and Gala again, nopes, nonono, not at all!

Then we met the omg brilliant, talented and hilarious Satir DeCuir, Al Andalus's master designer.  She's *so* awesome!  She reminds me of a cross between Callie Cline and Zada Zenovka!  

And then the people started coming in, to our little balcony.  Michel's colleague Rose, then Zada and Argent, and omg, we had a blast!  

The Embassy's going to throw a ribbon-cutting party in a week or two, and get the Extropians and Andalusians boogieing together in the square - we are *so* going to rock the casbah!  :D

	Rocking with the Chairman! Gala and I were partying at Neph Amat's place, when Michel invited us over to close our real estate purchase in Al Andalus
	Welcomed to the Jewish Quarter Michel welcomed us - Gala changed into something more appropriate, but I didn't have many options!
	The Embassy We bought the place, and then our friends started pouring in!
	Satir! We met Satir and Rose, Michel's partners in Al Andalus, and really hit it off! Satir and Zada *have* to meet!
	Everyone loves a parade! Yeps, it's the Extropian Embassy in Al Andalus!
	Trying to go native Zada and Argent join us! We all blend right in, right?? :P
