A lovely four-week R&R was over in the wink of an eye! We left Hot Springs early on Saturday and arrived back in Monrovia at 9PM the following day. I forgot to blog!
Our last week in HS was great! My cousin Julie and her husband Scott came for coffee one morning (with great Mueler’s pastries). John’s friend Russ came to spend a day; I shopped while they visited, then Russ’s wife Cathie came and we grilled delish steaks from Weldons. Thursday night, we went to Via Roma with David and Alison (yummy). We had another afternoon of coffee and yakking with D&A on Friday.
We were able to tour the Arkansas Passport Center one day, as well. We had an informal session with employees where John and I talked about life in the foreign service, then we got a tour of the facility. Such nice folks!
Our last night in town, Sarge and Miller from high school days came over for pizza on the balcony – what a treat to see them!
The trip home was long with stressful moments but we made it! Now we’re teleworking as we quarantine. What a great vacation!
