Neice.1 got back from a semester in Mexico City this weekend. She was there to help in her Spanish. Of course - as she is a young person in university - she loved it. SHe was there for 5m and had metric tonnes of adventures. Always strange to be back wherever wheh you have been out of town/country for an extended time - even my 2week trips to Cali led to a certain dislocation uopn returning - let alone living in he D.F. for such a long time.
However, where my sorrow comes in was in talking to her parents @ Nephew.3's baseball game (lost, but he got a R.B.I to tie the game early). She is leaving alot of frenz behind - it hit me when her mom said that she'd probably never see alot of these kids again. Her frenz were from all over - Mexico, Central America, South America, England, Germany, etc etc etc... That losing of a place and time - a scene - hurts, especially because it can never be recreated. I guess "No Expectations" can be applied to many situations.
But, of course, the time was there. Enjoyed while it lasted.
