World without Strangers
As we set out on this journey to explore new places and meet new people we hadn't expected such a quick start. The tone was set by the bracelet Marion had chosen to wear with the words "World without Strangers" inscribed on it. We met old friends Christine and Kevin for lunch at the Toronto airport, and before we parted, asked Chris to take our photo as a starting pic for our trip. Just as she snapped a man (wearing pink pants!) swooped between us and camera. Realizing he'd got in the way he stopped to apologize, then laughingly agreed to join us for the repeat shot, and as he dashed off, called back "Send it to me!" Of course we have no idea who he was - just a "stranger" passing through our day, but the incident brought a smile and a chuckle to us all. May we meet many more strangers as we travel along, hopefully some will stay with us a little longer!
Maybe the theme for this years trip will be
"Make new friends but keep the old, some are silver the others gold"
