Our dear friends Lina, Aya and Amer Ajami are leaving Canada for good and returning to Damascus. We thought that the only farewell appropriate for this amazing family would be for us to go to Montreal and say good bye to them there.
However, with the Ajamis, every experience becomes an exquisite treat. We stayed five days with them, went together to Quebec city, and had really great fun. How can one not have fun when Aya, their 11 year old daughter is around? Rafif believes that Aya is the most hilarious eleven old she has ever met. I second Rafif’s opinion.
In Montreal we also met old friends: Ralda and Mansour Farah, and Roula and Samir Shagouri. We also did not miss to make new friends: Peter Nasri and Maya Sam'aan. Rafif was reunited with her class mate Maya Kabbani, while I finally met the indefatigable Camille Alexandre. All this socializing was made possible thanks to the fabulous hospitality of Lina and Amer. We will miss them tremendously but our friendship will transcend distances.
