Laura and her place were great. The house is comfortable and convenient to downtown (an easy bus ride or a longish stroll). Laura was lovely and, for a special treat, prepared a tasty Christmas punch made from guavas, mandarins, sugar cane, ginger and other secret ingredients. Yummy. I'm sure she doesn't make Ponche all the time since it is a seasonal Mexican delicacy, but it was lovely of her to make a warm, sweet treat to take the edge of Seattle's December chill.
