I think what I love most about good friends is that no matter the distance and time, you can fall easily into conversation and it isn't strange at all. My friend I visited in Greece was in the Twin Cities for a couple hours on her way back to Athens via the international teaching job fair in Atlanta. She extended the trip to come here to spend some time with her family, who live outside the metro, and so the only chance to see her was at the airport on Sunday evening.
We met her at baggage claim and headed to the bar located outside security for a very brief but great hour and a half. As I was sitting next to her, filling her in on the drama of the fall and hearing about hers, I stopped and said, "It seems so normal to be sitting here next to you." She said the same. Sad it wasn't longer, but glad I got to see her.
She's off to Bogota, Columbia for her next teaching job. Summer 2013??
