Bread of affliction

It is always more meaningful to celebrate Passover while travelling. We don't have to exert our imaginations very much at all to pretend that we are migrants. We are wanderers! Thankfully we are free and willing wanderers.

So we had a lovely dinner with Peter and Kristin (Jakob's parents) who are visiting from Ottawa. Roasted vegetables, quinoa salad, a whole baked trout (nobody ate the eyeballs), matzo ball soup, and finally an over-the-top dessert of homemade passionfruit coconut macaroons, brownies, and exquisite chocolates from Koko Black. The girls stood on chairs and sang, took fully 15 minutes to find the afikoman, and eagerly awaited the next cup of juice.

As we stress over finding places to live and reentering a new form of life it is nice to take a break from figuring things out to have a nice dinner with family. As such here are some celebratory photos with the bread of affliction. Thank goodness for freedom.
