On Monday, we met our old friend Rocio after work. We worked together in Ciudad Juarez. She happened to be in town, and we were delighted to catch up with her! She&#8217;s still pretty as ever &#8211; her nickname in Juarez has always been Sharapova, for her pretty long blonde hair.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Then Friday, one of John&#8217;s old co-workers from Systematics, Leland, was in town. John took the day off to spend time with him, then we went out for a nice dinner together. He spent the night with us, but was out the door at the crack of dawn to catch his flight back to Arkansas. There&#8217;s nothing like old friends &#8211; they&#8217;re the best!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">And, a friend from Tel Aviv is currently working in Juarez, and she was in town on a TDY working at our Consulate, so she and I spent the day shopping in Tlaquepaque yesterday! <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">It was fun catching up with all three of these folks &#8211; old friends are the best!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">We hosted our monthly book club on Thursday night, which was a lot of fun.
