New Friends

Luciya, who took me out for Indian food

Lynette, who, after taking me to dinner somewhere else, brought me here and demonstrated the fine art of smoking shisha (which I declined attempting)

Nicole, who showed me the old city, treated me to a smoothie, bought me pottery, and had me over for dinner . . . and whose love for her country is inspirational

Ailsa and Kathlee, who took me to breakfast, showed me part of another old city, were infinitely patient as I shopped for souvenirs, and answered many, many questions for me

 Ali, my roommate who fast turned friend. She has been all over the globe and has so many experiences I can learn from. I hope our paths intersect again soon.

Part of a great family I spent a lot of time with. These boys are much fun!
