We got to meet my dear friend Sharan’s sister from Italy who happened to be interning for her advanced degree in Reykyavik. We brought her a framed picture from Sharan to save a bunch on shipping charges. Valentina’s English is very good, but it was nice to be able to speak Italian in Reykavik too, which strangely I have done regularly both times I visited Iceland.
We got a cute Airbnb rental which was pretty convenient, although quite a walk to downtown if truth be told. The cabs were pretty plentiful, although expensive at this point with the current exchange rate.
Donita has consistently been one of my closest friends since high school, more than thirty years ago. Widowed way too young I was very happy to be a part of her wedding to a great guy who I have had the privilege of getting to know. I love these people, and I enjoyed seeing Kane and a ton of my close high school friends and their families.

We started living together June 13, 2014 and we’re going strong!
I hadn’t seen my dad’s cousin Kathleen in years and was recently connected with some of her nieces and sister through Ancestry.com and online with Facebook, so it was about time to visit her and see her, which was such a joy. Not only is Monterey a beautiful place to visit, but it’s also nice to know my dad is from such a place where he still has relatives that remember him fondly.
