Samudra (and Brian!)

(Samudra, Brian and I at their wedding in Sri Lanka... maybe 4 years ago?)(Samudra and I at Tisa's in American Samoa, Christmas 2008)

How long does it take to make a friend? Certain people simply ought to be in your life; they may lead a path parallel to yours, or they may simply cross your life at a certain point but still leave an indelible sign.

Samudra, Paty and I were part of the same scholarship program that paid for our studies while in Oregon. We shared our knowledge about our home country (Sri Lanka, Peru’ and Italy), while learning about the funny habits of the North Americans (how wonder now if they also knew not to ask for “rubbers” around, but rather for “erasers”). Surely we had a lot of fun together! And more amazingly, even if our roads took such a different directions, we always find a way to see each other and support each other when in need.

Pure life! Samudra and her husband Brian arrived here the day after Paty and Jennifer left to continue their trip and enjoyed with me the mountains, lakes and tastes of Trentino. Here a selection of their pictures to give you a taste of the Alps from a outsider point of view. Maybe you will come and visit soon then! ;-)
So, Samudra, how is the grappa?
Going to the Dolomites!!!
Our enormous trucks! jajaja! Jokes apart, I did saw some real trucks around recently...
