While Florin went to the airport to pick up Rev. Elder Nancy Wilson and Rev. Pat Bumgardner, I waited for my friend, Andreea Molocea, whom I hadn't seen since Fall of 2009 in Timisoara at a conference. She arrived promptly, more beautiful than I even remembered. She is studying for her doctorate in feminist studies at Central European University in Budapest which has fairly low residency requirements.
We walked to the old city where there are many sidewalk cafes and chose one at random. Andreea said they were all good. Lunch was leisurely and pleasant. We spoke of our lives and what's going on, of friends, a bit about politics. It was very pleasant to catch up. We walked a bit afterwards and then went our separate ways, I to the hotel to wait to hear from Florin; Andreea to go pack for her trip to Italy the next morning.
Florin called and I walked to the hotel where Nancy and Pat were staying and we all headed out for dinner. We didn't do much business, just hung out and caught up.
All in all, it was a pleasant day of catching up with old friends.
