saw a long lost friend!!!

“wasn't hiking this weekend, I could not belive it, but I found a long lost friend living right here in columbia, about 10 minutes away from me. I know this girls since I am about 10 or 11. What a small world. Just had to share this with everyone. I can't belive how much I missed talking about the old times. :)”

“KEWL! I wish some of my friends from the old days hiked!”

“well, she isn't into hiking yet....but give it some time.

the cool part about it is, remember I am German, so I know this girl from Germany. All around the globe, and here we meet again.”

“A big chunk of my family is in Columbia.”

“Wow, that is cool! I guess I missed that whole "wasn't hiking this weekend" bit. Somehow took it for "was hiking this weekend". =)”

“Chiggers, Gemini is German. There goes my phony balony German schtick down the ol tubes!

Oh, glad to hear it Gemini. It is a small world isn't it? When I served in the Philippines I met a guy who grew up just blocks from where I grew up. I ran across another guy from the old neighborhood in my present job. Glad you could make the connection.”

“geo thanks and LOL :D. I must have missed your "phony balony"German. Darn!!!!”

“I talked to Gem on the phone one day. She has a delightful and most interesting German accent. She sounds like a pleasure to know.”

“Ya, vell, sorry you gemissed der demonstratzen mein frau, but it vill reappearen mit der magic vun tag ven you least expecten it, nein? Ist der vay uf der Geobeeten.”
