John and I had arrived back at the Friends House in Brussels after he showed me around the Grand Place and nearby environs. Paul, who had not been at his desk when John had introduced me around to the staff that morning stood up to greet me and when he found out where I was from, he said to me, “Let’s find out just how small a world this is. Do you know this person? She is from Oregon too and I’ve been reading her blog about a trip to Africa she took last year. A friend of mine went too but she had a lot more information.”
I ask, “Has she changed the background?”
“Yes, she has changed it recently.”
“That would be me.”
“Wow! It IS a small world!”
By this time, the whole office is cracking up. It’s a small world after all.Labels: Europe 2011
