My Kentucky buddies, Stephanie and Becky
Home again, home again! I arrived back in Tel Aviv yesterday afternoon and am so glad to see John and Flavia! It’s especially nice to be able to celebrate my birthday with them!
Last Sunday morning at o’dark thirty, I left Hot Springs and drove through rain to catch my 7 AM flight to Lexington, Kentucky. I spent the week in Williamsburg at a conference at the Kentucky Consular Center. The conference was great and the hospitality that KCC extended to us was just incredible. It was so fun to meet folks from other posts and to meet the people at KCC who help us via email and telephone.
The week was a whirlwind of meetings and going to lunch and dinner with the group. It was especially fun to see my A-100 classmate Robert who was in from Lima. A group of us went to Cumberland Falls State Park to see the beautiful waterfall there, followed by dinner at the lodge, where we were entertained by goldfinches and a resident raccoon. We also had a great time celebrating Cinco de Mayo together at a local Mexican restaurant.
