One of the best things about being in back in the U.S. is reconnecting with old friends.
First there was Mariela and Tania (Colombia) in Ohio.
Then Doug (U.S.) in Boston. Doug lives nearby (although I can never quite make it to his house--or anywhere in Boston for that matter--without getting lost).
Gaudence, Leonce and kids Alice, Chris, and Olivier (Rwanda) live in Amherst and we had several visits in Boston and in Amherst.
I also reconnected with Tomi (Japan) who I hadn't seen for more than 10 years. She lives in North Carolina, but I saw her name on a flyer for a talk at Harvard and got in touch during her visit to Cambridge.
