Anaka is Pronounced Ana-Kuh

Playing on the Strawberry

I drove to the airport today to drop off Soco's parents who stayed with us for 10 days. They helped us out a lot with taking care of Anaka and Nayeli.

I was asked how Anaka was pronounced. It is prounounced like, Ana-Kuh. Ana and then Ka. Ka rhymes with duh.

Waiting for the next train at Silver Spring

The trains around here can experience serious delays on the weekends, but on the weekdays, the delays are kept at a minimum. Expect them to come every 6 minutes.

The Eden Center at Falls Church, Virginia is the east coast center for the Vietnamese community. Here, there is a myriad of stores all catering to the Vietnamese. My parents were doing some comparision shopping with the different bakeries to see who could make the best Banh Mi (Vietnamese Sandwich) for the cheapest. The best deal we could get was 6 for the price of 5 at $2.50 each. The winner for the best Banh Mi goes to Huong Binh Bakery @ 6781 Wilson Blvd. Falls Church, VA 22044.

The sandwiches usually contain liver pate, ham cilantro and pickled radishes. It makes a healthy, delicious and inexpensive meal and has been awarded as the meal of choice by the Washingtonian on various occasions.

Knight Rider

K.I.T.T.

This is the third show pertaining to the theme of Knight Rider. (The second show didn't catch on. Look up "Team Knight Rider") The movie last night was two hours with lots of car commercials. Mostly of Ford vehicles. The movie had almost every new Ford vehicle you can think of, promoting Fords new fleet of SYNC vehicles (the ones that you can talk to).

The movie was really cool. Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff) makes a brief appearance at the end of the movie. The storyline was written very well and it kept me engaged in the movie til the end. Check out the website at www.nbc.com/knight_rider.
