unexpected meeting in Bangkok

I really enjoyed the people I worked with in my last job - loved them really, miss them still. When my dad came for a visit we had planned to spend a couple of days in Bangkok - his favorite city on earth and one of our old haunts when we would travel together to India a few times a year. I thought it would be great to be together again in Bangkok.

To my surprise I got an email from a colleague from Kenya who, by providence, would be in Bangkok around the same time as his wife had a work conference there. Fabulous! We made a plan to get together for a dinner. I couln't believe my luck!

This is Grace and Patrick. They have two boys (who were still home in Kenya) - Solomon and Ethan. This family is very special to me. You may not have known it, but he was a subject of many earlier posts here and here most recently.

We met up at the night market. Ate in the food court and then went shopping. In my opinion, Bangkok has the best shopping in the world. I've been a lot of places and each place has something unique to offer, but I've yet to find better shopping than Bangkok. I think Grace and Patrick enjoyed it too. At least I hope they did.

We had a great time catching up and making new memories. At the end of the night we put them in a tuk and sent them on their merry way. Until next time friends...when we meet up again somwhere in the world.
