Our friends, who we haven't seen for more than 3 years, arrived later than planned due to a cancelled flight from Barcelona that turned into a long bus ride. They arrived late afternoon versus early morning. Eric was out spearfishing--we were expecting them more in the evening--so I picked them up from the airport, where their bus had dropped them off.
We go way back--both families started at the university at the same year. We shared the same birth pool back and forth for our children, and we had ours just a few weeks or months apart. We used to do things together weekly until our kids got bigger and life got busier.
They are on sabbatical this year and "world schooling." This will be the 12th country they have visited over the past 10 months.
Our kids were so excited to see them--their two children are the same ages as Inga and Dio.
There was much talking and running and playing games and general excitement. While we were prepping dinner, we sent the kids out to walk to the sea and see a few sights.
It's also super fun because we have the new apartment mostly ready and our kids want to hang out there all the time. "I want to live here!" Dio said.
Dinner was 4 fish (caught by Eric) in a delicious cherry tomato, zucchini, lemon, and olive oil sauce, served over rice; yogurt with orange marmalade; and spinach & ricotta tart.
School starts back up again tomorrow after a long break.
