FAREWELL TO MORE NEW FRIENDS
The problem with traveling and meeting great new friends from all over the world is that there are so many goodbyes. In Seville, I spent my Semana Santa days with Gilda, a NY resident who is taking a one-year career break, spending most of it in Italy learning the language. And, after the Italian teachers moved out, a very nice, very energetic French Canadian couple moved into the house, and I had great dinners talking with them about all manner of subjects. You really do meet such interesting people when traveling.
