Via La Selva
September 13, 2023
Had a truly fun afternoon hanging around with these two… Alicia and Dave.
Dave also grew up on Via La Selva, which means we both went to Valmonte, Malaga Cove and PVHS. Which means we share dozens (and dozens and dozens) of the same friends and have incredibly similar childhood experiences. Dave and Alicia have been paired up since our sophomore year in high school and after a half century of life, jobs, family, and so many moves around the country (and world), they are returning to Dave’s family’s home to live (after about a year of remodeling, a project that just started this week).
The afternoon was extremely pleasant, and comfortable in that common roots, shared experiences kind of way. We didn’t move in the same circles, but there are still so many common threads… and just so much to relate to in each other’s stories.
I learned that the two slots that opened up on the Guatemala trip in February — the slots that Sally and I will be filling — became available when Dave and Alicia had to back out (due to that remodel project). Sorry they won’t be on this trip.
