A Chance Meeting

Ok so this may not be very exciting to all of you but it was the "law of coincidences"that got me so I had to report this.

Elisabeth, shown here, our dear friend from Paris is working much too much for the French arm of the World Cup of Rugby. She was "forced" to go to a team building exercise a bus ride from Grenoble. She has already been working 70+ hours per week and this involved being away until late Saturday night.

Ron was flying from Seattle to London, TGV via Lille to Lyon where he was going to arrive 10 minutes after the rental place closed. So I volunteered to take the 2 hour train from Pierrelatte so that we could get the rental that we wanted. Sam decided he wanted to come with me although later he wondered why as we had to do a lot of waiting.

We disembarked last from the train as we had lots of time to kill and this was the trains last stop. I looked left, looked right and looked left again. Why? Because something I saw wasn't right OR in fact, was very right but so hard to believe. If I had been 30 seconds earlier or later I would have missed Elisabeth. What were the chances?

Elisabeth told me that it was just a chance she was on the platform as her train didn't go for another half hour but she had decided against a drink with her friends. Instead we had a lovely, unexpected chat for 30 minutes. At which time Sam was so bored we had to gros bisous et partir!
