So the week before we left, Chris and I went out to dinner at a restaurant in our neighborhood called First Course on 56th and Chicago - by the Kowalski's.
We were sitting at a table next to an older couple, and when Chris had to take a call from his dad, we started chatting. We talked about going on our trip, and it turned out they were going on a London/Paris trip, and would be in Paris the same time we were.
So tonight Chris and I walked over to the Parc du Champ de Mars to sit in near the Eiffel Tower and have our champagne and eclair. When we were done, we were leaving and as we walked by some people sitting on a bench, I noticed they were speaking English. Something sounded familiar, and IT WAS THEM!! Their names are Paul and Carla and they were wonderful.
I said, "HEY! It's the First Course people!" And we talked to them for about 30 minutes until the Eiffel Tower lit up. They took our picture - see other post.
Can you believe that? In a city of millions, what are the odds we would run into people that we met briefly in a restaurant in our neighborhood??
