our first "coincidental" reunion with travelers

so after a 13 hour bus ride from nha trang to hoi an i hoped to get some sight seeing in. we were leaving that afternoon at 4p via taxi to hue. i had read that hoi an is THE place to get custom tailor sewn clothes made in a matter of hours. they weren't kidding!

the streets were lined with hundreds of tailors. who to go to? we stopped in a place called "Lovely." once i saw the shop owner was pregnant, i thought of all my girlfriends back home who just gave birth or are prego...and i was sold that this was the shop for me. mom and i ordered a bunch of clothes and the shop owner got on the phone to her calvary of tailors and one by one, 3 tailors pulled up on their motor bikes, took our measurements, the material, and rode off into the sunset promising to return in 2 hours with our new clothes. cool!

we left for lunch, visited a few temples, then back to Lovely to pick up our clothes. within minutes two ladies walked into the shop....we knew them. they were on the all day boat trip my aunt and uncle took us on in nha trang. these two ladies were traveling with their husbands (one couple from ireland another from canada, they met up on their travels earlier on). out of the hundreds of shops we BOTH chose this one.

so is it coincidence? or is it energy attracted to each other? or consciousness flowing on the same wave? i know what i believe. you decide.

4.30p we got in a taxi heading for hue. much better than the open tour bus for sure. we called the shots! tee hee!
