Itsa small world after all...

Tonight at dinner (at the international buffet in the hotel,) I sat near a couple and their daughter, and I could not help but hear their conversation. I heard "Colorado" and someone's "place up north, in Michigan." I walked over and asked if they lived in Colorado - yes, Littleton. He works in Broomfield. They were on vacation. I said I was leaving in the morning for Brazil. They used to live in Sao Paolo. They have friends who live in Grand Rapids, MI with a place near Traverse City.

You'd have gotten a kick out of this. While waiting for the buffet to open I had a drink in the bar. He suggested I try the Japanese restaurant in the hotel. I smugly said, "I'll be in Tokyo in two weeks, so I think I'll wait." Talk about name dropping!

Good night.

Brother Bob, I haven't missed an entry. I have to admit I'm a little jealous of some of the places you've seen. Come home safe and have a good remainder of your trip.

Blog seems to be working now. Glad you are getting to to a little sightseeing. You are missing some beautiful weather.
