Cecile and I were up early for breakfast while Nelson and Susie slept in — still recovering fromall that dancing last night , especially to “Let’s Get Loud” by Jennifer Lopez.
Our server turned out to be Freddie, a warm and friendly soul from Yangon, Myanmar . He spoke proudly about Bagan along the great Ayeyarwady River — a place Cecile and I visited in 2018.
Freddie shared that although he is Catholic, many of his friends are Buddhist. I told him I too was born and bred Catholic and mentioned our friend Maybelle and her daughter Michelle in Allentown.
Cecile snapped a photo of Freddie and me. I immediately thought Maybelle would enjoy seeing it — and of the beautiful tapestry she once gifted us.
Funny how, even in the middle of the ocean, the world can suddenly feel very small.
