A few months ago a comment appeared on our blog from an old friend, Miso, from high school. Apparently he had been working in Chicago for a year and never knew we lived so close. Saturday was his last day in Chicago because his company is relocating him to Vienna, Austria. Saturday also happened to be the last day in the States of another high school friend – Martin who has been traveling through the U.S. by trains during the last couple of weeks. So I figured we could have a mini reunion and I could help take them to the airport.

So Saturday morning I got in the car, drove three and a half hours and met up with these two fellows. I haven't seen them in almost 6 years so sitting in La Creperie and talking about where life has taken us since graduation was absolutelly surreal. Especially since we went to high school together on another continent some 5,000 miles away!

After lunch I dropped them off at the airport and headed home to Grand Rapids. It was a long day with lots of driving but it was well worth it. We agreed that we should meet again in another random place, wherever life takes us. I think Miso mentioned Singapore.
