Lao Lunch, a Hike, and a Spring Garden

Lao lunch with friends in the East Bay

We spent the afternoon catching up with friends who had just returned from Laos—sharing stories, laughter, and a beautiful Lao lunch at @spicyjoibanhmixlaostreetfood ❤️ We ordered a special lettuce wrap, and the table was overflowing with delicious bites. Extra thanks to our friends for the warm welcome, @joinoelle365 and @noellecreativecuisine 🙏🏼 If you’re in the Concord area, check them out for a delicious Lao food experience.

After lunch, we took a much-needed hike, with Da leading the trail and letting the conversation continue along the path. We ended the walk with a visit to @kurated_style Dera’s garden, where the spring blooms were quietly putting on their own show🌸🪴

Delicious food, good stories, and the simple joy of seeing friends again.
