Wine Tastings

Last week we were hired to put on the CEA (Cultural Experiences Abroad) student orientation. There were 23 students the first night and 28 the second. During one of the tastings, a young lady in the back raised her hand and said..."Hilary! It's Melanie Lyeth!" I couldn't believe that a girl I grew up with- knew her from Sunday school in Healdsburg, CA- was sitting in my living room on the 5th floor of an apt building in a foreign country! She is studying in Aix this spring semester and we will see each others families when they visit Provence in a few months. I couldn't believe it...I rode horses with Melanie's older sister Margaret in Pony Club, Heather worked at the same Bed & Breakfast, we had pool parties at her house. Small world.
