Twenty years in the making\u2026.that\u2019s how I felt about finally going to visit Katie in Guadalajara, Mexico.  One of my biggest regrets is not visiting Katie in Argentina during the four years she lived there in our mid-twenties. When Katie told me three years ago that she and her family were going to live and work somewhere in Latin America for two years, I knew this was my second chance.  With just a few months remaining in her time in Mexico, a little nudge by Katie and my trip was scheduled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a wonderful girl\u2019s weekend\u2026.we walked, we talked, we checked out markets, and caught up on life. Katie and I haven\u2019t spent more than a few hours together each year in years past so having 2 \u00bd full days of mostly just us time was wonderfully good for the soul. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Katie wrote up everything we did (as she knew I likely couldn\u2019t remember it)…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
