We have met on Friday afternoon and as you can guess there were so many things to share and learn about each other. It was a lovely evening. I believe that a virtual friendship turned into a lifelong one that evening.
We even managed to visit the Orthodox Patriarchate before the dinner. It was a rainy night before the Easter but still lots of visitors were there..
It was so nice to meet with you guys...Lets try to do it again soon...
How wonderful to meet your blogging friends and share this time together.. I hope your weekend created wonderful memories... xx Julie

ReplyDeleteIsn't that great? Those of us who live in large cities are lucky; it's easier to meet blogging friends. I met one on Friday. The funny thing is I had met her on an Australian blog but we both live in California!

ReplyDeletei wish you many more happy connections

How wonderful...meeting with people face to face that you met on a blog page.
ReplyDeleteI have met 4 of my blogger friends so far....although all in the USA.
That is so cool.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! I envy you meeting Phivos and Popi because he is a grand blogging friend of mine too. I do hope to meet them someday. In June I will finally meet a young man who lives in the Philippines and for whom I've become "mom" in our two year blogging relationship. Really awesome.
