2010: July Reunions with Betsy + and the Jonsson

 

The last week of July was quite an eventful time filled with sweet reunions. First, Betsy--my American sister, whom I haven't seen for 40 years came to town. We along with Jeff, her husband, Rachel, their youngest daughter, and Zach, Rachel’s friend went to Smithsonian and had Thai dinner. The following morning, I flew to NY to join Hef and Bo, Jon, and Bin. The came a night before and did little male-bonding activities in the NYC. We drove up to Concord, NH and spent time there.  We also did excursions to Portsmouth, coastal Maine, Kancamagus Highway which is part of the White Mountain National Park, and peaceful Winniepeasakee Lake. The boys made it to the Red Sox game in Boston finally.

We wrapped up with a wonderful reunion with my loving American Mom Noyce. She introduced us to a delicious Turkish restaurant. Thanks to her /\, Bin got an awesome place to stay at Oversea Mission Study Center, New Haven, while doing a rotation at St. Raphael.
