8 days with Farid Monti - My Happy New Year Story

[FaridTDF]

@TraciC, reserva el tiempo, para un almuerzo o una cena dentro de los tres dias antes y/o posteriores al próximo encuentro de Local Guides y tú serás nuestra invitada de honor, estoy seguro cómo bien dice @ErmesT, y a @KarenVChin también, les gustará mucho compartir ese gran placer que es ir a charlar con amigos y una buena comida de excusa.🙂

Farid.

Many thanks, @FaridTDF. I'll be sure to do just that as I really enjoyed our last meal together in Buenos Aires. 🙂

Kudos to your friendship👌👏

Thank you @LakshmiK 

this is one of the "secret recipes" of this community. Becoming friends, it doesn't matter where you live, it doesn't matter your time zone, learning from each other, through our post and our stories is priceless. I have many true friends in the community, and at least once in the life I had the opportunity for meeting them in person, People like @NatalkaR (Ukraine), @TorM and @LudwigGermany (Germany) @helga19 (Russia), @KarenVChin (San Francisco Bay area), @JanVanHaver (Belgiun) and many others. Building Friendship is always possible

@ErmesT this coffee picture that you attached to your post is one situation that is deeply burned into my memory: It was my first morning in SF. I was heading to Philz Coffee, which I knew from 2016, thinking what I will do this day. Suddenly you came out of nowhere. My friends in the middle of these big city. Could it be coincidence? We had a wonderful but short time together before you left to the Google offices.

[ErmesT]

Haha, that's funny @LudwigGermany . Coming out of nowhere, haha. Well, that's right, as Philz Coffe was the meeting point for the ones that had to go to Google Office early in the morning, like @Julien44 . I was just explaining them that I was waiting from a specific message from @KarenVChin , declaring "I am on the Bridge" and ... dang, the message arrived. I was not too much surprised to see you there as it was, as i said, a meeting point.

Re-thinking to the story now, it is quite funny or, with a kind of magic....

Leía tu post @ErmesT y tuve una oleada de hermosos recuerdos, el famoso mensaje de @KarenVChin  ¨estoy en el puente¨ jajaj fue memorable al rato aparece ella muy campante y suelta de cuerpo, bueno, bueno vamos a tomar el café, jajajaj era le primera vez que la veía me encanto. todos nos pusimos a hacer fila para comprar nuestro café, luego nos fuimos todos juntos a las oficinas de Google. Lindos recuerdos.
