Last Known Sighting: Well, I'm still in touch with my gal pals Jordan, Olga and Alma. I've been in close contact with Jordan ever since high school. Olga and I have also stayed in pretty close contact throughout the years. Alma and I established Internet contact before I left California and we got together a few years ago in Strasbourg, France during a trip she made to Europe.

I miss: Well, I don't know if I'd use the word "miss" (life goes on after all), but I do still have fond memories of the good times with my friends, the latin way-of-life and, of course, the tropical weather and beach life....

Comments: I did indeed live in California (for 10 long years). Three years ago I moved to Germany, though. I moved here mainly for two reasons. One, raising a son as a working single mom was becoming increasingly difficult. So I sought the support of my parents, who have been living in Germany for the past 10 years. Now granma helps me take care of the little one when I'm at work. Two, the European in me missed the Old Country and was getting tired of the Californian superficiality. I made the right decision. Jake and I have quickly settled in and are both quite happy here in Germany.
