Beautiful detailed writing as always Lauren....Who knows where we are going or what will happen when we get on a bus with you?!? :) It's an adventure and a half and I love it. A really lovely retelling of your journeys made ever so interesting by your very talented writing....Your memory and attention to detail is exceptional.

Oh I'm so glad that you shared this story with us. I was hooked. I love the mystery and intrigue we can find in the ordinary lives of others and I love how your lives intertwined. I've been listening to Natalie Goldberg's, Writing Down The Bones and she talks about it's our job as writers to write about the mundane, the everyday, the details that others miss because they aren't paying attention. This story felt like just that. In noticing him, you allowed us into to something special. I loved this!!
