Greetings from the US! We arrived for a few days in California, on our way to Vegas. Karl was really popular because he brought special gifts from China, in the form of purses, pens, and watches. Based on reactions, we think we have potential for an import business! After the fun, it was all work. Lila’s team is restructuring and she has a new boss. Most of her time was with her team & new group in California and Oregon. Karl spent the days networking with former & current colleagues. All in all, an intense yet productive stop over from a work perspective.
The evenings were just as exciting as we caught up with colleagues/friends. Lila was able to catch up with Jean Ann & Gail for a much-needed relaxing night out. She saw Mel & Hai, who’s growing way too fast but still remembers Auntie Fishlips. we joined the Hockings, Navin, Chengs, & Derek for a new Palo Alto restaurant. Another night we went out with David, who graciously pulled out a ’00 Bordeaux with some of the best beef we’ve had in the past year! Wine & red meat -- ahhh! Things we miss about the US. Friday night was spent in San Francisco enjoying city life with Ahmad and Becky. The dinner at La Mar, a hot new Peruvian restaurant, was fabulous! We had a fun night out afterwards, dancing the night away. There never seems to be enough time, but we are thankful for the opportunity to reconnect with friends, colleagues, and share a few special memories. It’s what we miss the most about living so far away.
