Guest

It's been a year since I saw Colleen. We met in Spain, when Sara brought her along to the Basque country and I met the two of them for a U2 concert in San Sebastian. She was a really nice girl, and the three of us got along well together - first at the concert, then in Madrid for Sara's 21st birthday (a night to remember), and finally in a rain drenched but still spectacular, and genuinely spooky, Halloween weekend in Galicia.

Today she's coming to visit me in Columbia! I'm excited to have her, but not sure what I can offer. I love living in Columbia, and when, for example, my sister comes, it seems sufficient to show her all of my favorite places, have her meet my friends, etc. But a guest like this is another matter. In good weather, we can go hiking in nearby parks and enjoy the campus atmosphere. Bad weather makes it a little harder. But I'll think of something.

For now, I just need to clean my room. And feel bad that I haven't gotten around to printing many Spain pictures yet, so Colleen and my adventures together are embarrassingly undocumented on my walls....
