Is how easily you slip into conversation.
How normal it feels and how you don't have to start from the beginning.
I met Sarah in San Francisco randomly 2 years ago. I had 10 days in the city and by the end of that time, that random arrangement made me a friend. Strangely we have managed to stay in contact for the past two years, so our weekend in Amsterdam felt natural and normal. Talking as if we had known eachother for years.
Highlights...
Tapas bar along canal
Delicious wine ....long chat
Walking around with someone who is OK to just walk around and soak up the energy of the city...
Exploring shops - not only clothes....
Having real girlie time
Watching the Holiday a second time around and actually enjoying it - in the company of a girlfriend, not a boyfriend (duh)
Mooching and eating and not caring
Delicious sushi dinner and cocktails
Not so delicious chi - chi dinner but at very cool Hackemar Brasserie....
More chatting
Not so good experience on Saturday evening/Sunday morning...but still feeling safe...
Got back on Sunday feelign rotten and tired. I am sick today...
Discovered an amazing drug called Contac which helps alleviate symptoms of colds...
Work people seem a little sympathetic which is kind of nice...
Need to decide if we are going to mission to Reading Fest. Not too sure I am up for it.
