This month brought continuing adventures on the Best of Europe II tour + a trip to Memphis & Iowa for a belated 30th birthday party. I celebrated the actual day while on tour in Villefranche-sur-Mer, looking out at the Mediterranean… and managed to take a pre-dinner selfie using the timer function. Fancy. Have I been back to Montserrat since then? Maybe once.
I admit feeling somewhat disconnected from my family during that visit because 2000 was a year of major transition: new job, new travels & new home. The pending move to Buenos Aires in December posed logistical challenges as well as emotional ones. My relatives couldn’t quite relate to my situation & I understood, but things were still a bit off. C’est la vie. And I just realized this was the last time I saw my grandfather before he passed away in 2002. What a great smile he had!
Hope you enjoy this glance at the past. Read about the genesis of this project, & please leave a comment if you also remember this particular time & place.
