Having spent a lovely afternoon with dear friends who have ricocheted from Belgrade to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Los Angeles to Hong Kong to Philadelphia to Calgary in the last twenty years, I cannot but remind myself of my pledge to stick to Motovun to the bitter end. As they ricochet around the globe, all of my friends are bound to drop by my house in the fullness of time. Given their frenetic ways, they simply must. And not just once, either.
