Expat Get-Together
On Saturday I had the wonderful opportunity to meet up with a group of fellow expat women for lunch. We originally “met” on an online forum and while that probably sounds weird, we actually have a lot in common, and none of us have turned out to be ax murderers! It’s been a wonderful outlet to share with other American women the frustrations and victories of our experiences here, and having a forum to chat about administrative, social, and family woes has made our expat adventures less isolating. Now I got to put faces to names and even meet two babies in the group! Husbands weren’t shunned from the gathering, however, and Seth joined us just in time to take a few pictures of the group.
Jackie, Caitlin, Andrea (holding son, Finn), Lori, Lauren, and me
The babies: two boys (2.5 months and 6 months). The consensus us that Seth and I must be having a girl with all the boys that seem to come out of our group.
Andrea let Seth take the stroller for a spin. How does this one look on him?
Saying good-bye for now. I hope we can see each other again while I’m traveling between Paris and London. I had a great time!
