Picture it. Roma, Italia! 5million + people, including natives and tourists of all ages, sizes, ethnicities, and kinds. I am walking down Vittorio Emanuele, a main street in the heart of Roma and low and behold, I run into a friend from Urban Active in Cleveland! Kay and her husband were visiting Roma and we had plans to meet prior to coming to Italy, but never connected. Sure enough, at 4:00, on Wednesday afternoon, we encountered one another on one of the busiest corsos in all of Italy! Such a spotting couldnt have been planned better!
Fast forward one week to a tourist visit to the Collosseo with mia familia and walking across the street to catch the bus, I hear, "Ms. Foltz! Ms. Foltz! It is Margaret Ransohoff!" Go figure! An HB family was traveling on a double decker bus and spotted me among 1000s of people, I have been quite noticeable here with my blonde hair, I have to admit, but what a strange occurrence.
I suppose Friedman was right when he wrote the book, The World is Flat....and believe me it is getting flatter, as I have been able to pay all of my bills, check my on-line bank details, and screen my work emails so that I dont return to thousands of messages! The blessing of technology!
