And right back at ya. Don’t know if it’s so true, lol, as more I’ve “been there, done that.” Hoping to be able to come by around the holidays if all goes well.

Alek needs to make you lunch–it is reciprocal hospitality, and that is absolutely necessary. Besides, you are probably one of her only friends right now and I’m sure she likes having you over to talk, and lunch is a good excuse. It is very lonely being in a new place and new culture when you are insecure about your language skills and unfamiliar with local customs. With you, she can be herself, use her improving English, and knows that you won’t laugh at her and that you have a sympathetic ear. Plus she gets to talk to a grownup during the day while Gabriel is working. You know how it is to be stuck with only a toddler to talk to!
