Last week I got great news: my childhood friend Maria Clara is visiting New York with her husband.
I was thrilled cause Maria Clara was way more than just some girl in my class, we were very good friends back then. We went over to one another houses uncountable times to play and do home work, we had numerous sleep overs, went to the movies together every week, I knew her whole family and she knew mine. At the beginning of high school however she moved to a different school and we lost contact.
Well, Facebook just fixed that, and last Sunday we met up again after 10 years, this time in the big apple.
You know how they say that when true friends meet again no matter how long they’ve been apart it feels like they were together the day before? That’s exactly how it was.
We strolled around the Flea Market in Williamsburg, had lunch at The Meatball Shop, walked across the Williamsburg Bridge back to the city to Nolita where we stopped by Café Habana for a frozen margarita. I mean, is not everyday I meet someone I enjoy walking around with for 3 miles over 6 hours.

| A day spent with a friend is a memory made |
But besides her sense of humor, kindness and bright personality, this girl has yet another reason to be loved and admired by everyone around her, she recently won a fight against one of the scariest monsters of our time, cancer.
At 24, she is finally out of the hospital, where she lived for months under medication that alone would make many of us give up the fight.
Her trip to New York is the beginning of a one year plan to travel around the world with her husband after going through what was certainly the toughest year of their lives.
It was great seeing you guys. I wish you all the love, happiness and health in the world! Enjoy your traveling!
