I met some old Foreign Ministry compadres, whom I served with at our Embassy in Washington D.C., for lunch today at Burg Al-Hamam. We were all a little grayer, a little stockier, a little bit more cynical, but the spirit of friendship, of brotherhood was evident.
The leisurely, three-hour lunch was a bittersweet event; over delectable Lebanese mezze and grilled meats we discussed social and political affairs, real estate, pop culture and family – of course, the conversation would almost always be sabotaged by someone’s bawdy sense of humor (and by the occasional water trickling from the roof this rainy day).
For dessert? A thick slice of nostalgia.
I feel like I was there. I bet you hated for the time together to end. Very sweet post.
Always good to see old friends and keep in comtat. sometimes people change but the memories dont and they become the bond.
