Remember that one from Brownies? What truer words could a girl scout speak?

| From VIsit to Ela Nov. 2008 |
I drove about 3 hours down to Virginia Beach last weekend to visit a friend from my time in Romania who has relocated to the U.S. to teach in our K-12 system for 3 years. An incredibly brave and commendable adventure, no doubt. But my friend Ela is one of the most up-beat and good-hearted people I know. Funny thing is, I never imagined meeting her here in the U.S., and I never imagined living on the same coast. Life is so incredible sometimes -- it puts people in our paths that we would never expect. Isn't that cool? Anyway, Ela and her lovely husband met me in Virginia Beach to catch up on the last years and see some sites. We took in colonial Jamestowne and Williamsburg and refreshed our memory of American history. In the meantime, we remembered our friendship and had a great time admiring fall scenery, exploring replicas of the ships that sailed here from the Old World, sword fighting with colonists, talking with indigenous people, and eating copious amounts of cheesy "colonized" pizza.

The makings of a great fall weekend. Indeed one is silver
and the other is gold.
and the other is gold.
