Lyradelmar's World Travels: San Fransisco

(sorry, this post was a loooong time coming. Here are pictures from a little sisterly reunion in San Fransisco, March of 2010.)

Sisterhood. What a strong, profound word with multiple meanings and symbolisms.

I am not referring to a gender movement trying to make political and social reforms, not defining a network of feminists making leeway into a male-dominated world, and especially not referring to a tween group of girls sharing their common interest for some magical pants! ::cringes as I realize I actually own that DVD, hey, in my defense it has great scenery of Santorini. Reminds me of our fabulous trip there:: but I digress...

No, when I speak of sisterhood I am speaking of a deeply embedded, intricately strung group of emotional bonds that are sometimes difficult to explain through mere vowels and consonants. It is the conscious and subconscious intuition that you form a substantial part of something strong, special and very unique. For as you are uniquely individual - when you form a part of this sisterhood - you are reminded that you are never alone in the world...Your sisters are your soul mates. Your kindred spirits. Your Best Friends. (sometimes) Your Worst Foes. But always, and unequivocally a part of you that not even death can take away...

My sisters and I, albeit distinct in personalities and looks, shared a womb, a childhood, a history and whenever we get together, share so many laughs and tears. We can spend countless hours talking, reminiscing, planning, probing, teasing, debating, and really never getting tired of each other's company (unless we are all under Eve's Evil Wrath, then its 'run for the hills' time! lol)

We had the delicious opportunity to get together this May for a Sisterly rendevouz, my sis D and I traveled from New York to visit our baby sister M and her hubby in their lovely home on the outskirts of San Francisco. It was five incredible days that we relished to the max!
