Perfect paella - 10th March 2012

Birthday paella for the boys

The London reunion had a distinctly European flavour thanks to the perfect paella. It was just like the good old days, with a slight tweak. The food was much better than the BBQ and pub burgers we lived on. The wine and the conversation were also a little more upscale! It also appears that babies and dogs have replaced exotic destinations as our favourite topics of conversation. But that is ok.
The one thing that hasn't changed is the brilliance of these friendships. Friends you make while travelling often do become friends for life. Despite now being at different stages of our lives and living miles (and states) apart, the girls can still talk for hours, while the boys can pick up the games and the shit talk right where they left off. Highlights of the evening included an eating content, a random bike riding display and the birthday boy posing with the three pregnant ladies and sporting one of the biggest bellies.
Today I am grateful for getting a slice of time with Tim, Debs, Murray, Susie, Bubble and Sophie all at once. I'm sad it doesn’t happen enough, but still savoring the great vibes that come from these awesome people.
