Cool Moment Today [View all]

I went to the supermarket and while standing at the registers I noticed 4 twenty somethings in another line.
We left the store at pretty much the same time and it happened that their car was parked next to mine.
I heard them talking and said "You guys from England?"
Yep, they were from London. So, I chatted with them for a while about my many visits there & what they were doing.
They all work for a school system there and are taking the last few weeks to take the Route 66 run.
They flew into Chicago and will drive all the way to Santa Monica.
They wanted to eat at a diner in town, but I had to tell them that's more a east coast & southern thing, but the place within walking distance was ok & pretty typical American (even though it's owned by a Greek family).
Just random chance had me bumping into a some young men from England on an otherwise normal trip to the store.
