You always meet (at least) twice in life

At the Weihnachtsmarkt!
A great opportunity came up over the weekend to meet up with another former exchange student, Lisa.  It's awesome being reunited with friends that live on another part of the globe.  Lisa studied at my high school last year for the second semester!  As you don't get the opportunity to meet up with a former exchange student too often, we decided that at some point during my time here, we had to meet up and thus she came up to Muenster for the weekend!

We're pretty good at ice skating!
It was great being reunited! We bounced right back into being good friends again.  I filled her in on everything friend and school related and then we just talked and talked and talked about everything: sports, school (here and in the US,) break, life, pretty typical.  But we now share a special connection as we have both undergone a similar experience.  I've stepped into the shoes that I met her in!  It was nice being about to debrief and talk about my adventures over the past couple of months with not only a friend from home but a friend who's undergone the same experience as I'm in.  It turned our friendship into something stronger and tighter that will undergo a lifetime (and hopefully plenty of more memories and travels.)
