Our friend is from another country, but is a student here. She is heading back to her home for about 5 months for an internship. She and her family have become our very good friends, housing us every weekend when we travel to the city that she studies in. She spent her last night in this country with us (our city has the international airport in it). We went out to dinner with some other friends and had an excellent time.
