Such a small world..
The one thing that I've come to appreciate about backpacking and travelling is that the people you meet and the friends you make will keep popping back into your days.
Today was one of those days. On the tram from St.Kilda to downtown I saw a girl who looked very familiar. I thought she was from the Whitsundays cruise that Wardo and I went on but wasn't 100% sure. Eventually my curiosity got the better of me and I knew if I didn't find out I'd be thinking of it all day. Got talking to her and turned out I was right. Nothing like a random encounter 5 months after making aquaintances.
The second encounter was less random but still surprising. The Canadian nurse that I met in New Zealand, Leah, stopped me in the street this afternoon. I knew after NZ she was returning to Sydney and eventually coming to Melbourne but had no clue as to exact dates. Crazy the people you meet just a walkin down the street....I'm not sure what song I quoted and I don't really want to know cause I'm sure it's cheesy and from my parent's era. Unless it's Billy Joel. Billy Joel rocks.

So it turns out that the song I quoted is actually from Sesame Street. "They're the people that you meet, when you're walking down the street, they're the people in your neighbourhood." Thanks to my uncle Ron for pointing out that it was Bob who sang it

Another small world encounter. Met up with Dave Campanella when Sarge and I were just walking down a street. We used to work with him at the Bomber. He's doin his coop down here or looking for a coop job. Also involved in making biodiesel... in true ES student fashion.
