Walking down Haarlemmerdijk, en route to Noordermarkt, I stumbled across this guy:
This was not amazing because he was wearing a U.S. college t-shirt and we were in Amsterdam.
It was not even amazing because this is the college in Pennsylvania where I met and fell in love with my husband in the summer of 1997.
It is amazing because, on our honeymoon in Kyoto, we stumbled across this guy:
WTF, F & M?!
Neither of these men had ever been to Pennsylvania, nor even knew what Franklin & Marshall was. According to the Dutch F & M enthusiast, he picked up his t-shirt in Stockholm.
Perhaps we should add Sweden to our list for future adventures…!

She’s Poised 
Haha, awesome! reminds me of a This American Life episode about coincidences
These are what I was thinking of: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/page/web-extra-coincidence-photo-stories http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/489/no-coincidence-no-story
I love these stories! I think my favorite is the one about the grandma who was mysteriously featured in the background of a friend’s childhood photograph… 🙂 Thank you!
It’s fascinating how a simple college T-shirt can lead you on unexpected journeys.
