In the course of wandering around various foreign destinations you meet really nice people and some characters.
I have categorized those chance encounters as 1) folks you will probably never see again and have no contact 2) people who you hope to run into again because you still maintain contact.
Featured Photo: 3 students from Europe we met in Baracoa, Cuba in January 2016. Will, Hugh & I met at dinner on the rooftop restaurant at Casa Cesar. We decided the future is bright as long as kids like these are running it. In this case, I know their names: Ines Rogge, Timo & Ana. More often I have forgotten fellow travelers’ names.
Update: We crossed paths again in Madrid. Those 3 great students consuming tapas in October 2016 with Bone, Vai & Ines’ BF, Pierre.
