It was a beautiful sunny day yesterday when the Carlls arrived. Their train from Paris was a bit late, but I caught it pulling in.
I'm usually at the end of the train so I walked in that direction, till I heard a sweet New Orleans accent ask: "Are you looking for someone?" Of course, they'd come up behind me and were at the other end! Hugs, kisses, smiles...and I realized just how much I miss those good old New Orleans hugs from people I love.
We had a little planning and sorting to do. We decided to take the bus home, get the rental car another day, and just go sit outside and have one of those wonderful Jambon, Fromage and Buerre sandwiches on the terrace of the Gare de Cahors while we waited for the bus. What a wonderful way to catch up, unwind from travel, and revel in the glow of the warm afternoon sunshine and the warmth of an almost 40 year old friendship.
...and, we've only just begun!
