It’s A Small World

April 26 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F

We were enjoying a quiet evening when Mui saw a text from a friend sent several hours before. Turns out that Tanıl, a friend from high school, was in Bologna for the day … with his wife … just an overnight stay on a quickie European trip.

The pollen in Padova had hit me hard. My allergies were steadily worsening and I was sneezing all over the place. I was in no mood to get gussied up and go out, but I encouraged Mui to do so. After all, he and Tanıl had last seen each other at their high school graduation in 1974!!!

Long story short, they arranged to meet at 9:00p. Mui left the apartment a little early to scout out a place and settled on Osteria Angolo degli Orefici near Piazza Maggiore … convenient for everyone.

As you can imagine, with 51 years of life’s happenings to catch-up on, the conversation must have been non-stop.

A brief get together … one that proves what a small world we live in.Read more
