Happy New Year! I hope you have a great 2016. Hario is back open for 2016 and we are looking forward to see you all. Did you have a nice vacation? I hope you got to relax and see your family.
I traveled to the USA to spend Christmas at my brother’s house. The rest of my family also traveled from the UK too. It was lovely to spend time with everyone and enjoy Christmas traditions like eating nice food and exchanging presents. My two young nephews really enjoyed themselves and they got around 90% of the presents. We gathered also to celebrate my father’s 70th birthday. We had a very nice meal in a restaurant. My brother lives in North Carolina and you can’t fly there directly. I changed flights at Washington DC and, on the way back, spent one day sightseeing around the capital city of the USA. I saw many famous sights like the White House, the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. I visited a couple of the Smithsonian Museums. They were really amazing. I hope I can go back someday and spend more time there. I really enjoyed my break, and, despite jet lag, I was able to relax and see my family.
I hope you had a great New Year vacation and good luck in the Year of the Monkey.
