Le monde est petit indeed, V. I can't believe your story. This is really cool, actually. Thankful for this great photo of you three. Always fun to "see" my blogger friends in person. :-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
A french quote says" Les grands esprits se rencontrent" (High spirits always meet)...:o)
@Malyss
The English saying for "les grands esprits se rencontrent" is "Great minds think alike". It is also much less ambiguous than the French expression, it is not about physical meeting! lol :)
Great blog by the way, it was a joy to stroll back throught the past entries.
and then add to that the happenstance of 'once you meet someone you keep running into them over and over' ... it happened to us in Santa Fe .. a couple we met while breakfasting crossed paths with us several more times that day ..in Paris its kismet ... in Santa Fe its the vortex
wonderful coincidence! :)
Love this picture!

This happens to me all the time in the grocery store. It's much more thrilling in the world of Paris blogs!
Lovely story!

Fun!
My two dear friends and another fun Francophile... I do love meeting bloggers in Paris, in Madrid, in....
Great photo!
That is amazing! Although I don't know why? You (and Peter too) have become famous!
Of course I remember this very nice moment! ... and now it's memorized forever by (Mary's) photo!
It's a cool story Virginia and like you said, yhe odds of meeting someone from Texas who already 'knows' in Paris ate next to nothing...
I love it when this happens....maybe Paris is not so big after all!
How cool V! What are the odds of that happening and meeting someone from Texas to boot. HAH (We live in Texas).
Great photo of all of you! :)
Such an enjoyable story. I can't wait to go back to Paris and maybe run into you!!
The fun of blogging.
I just love that the world IS small, and blogging brings us all together! After all, we are all interested in similar places, people, things so it's only natural we should meet up!
Fun! How wonderful to be connected by common passions, in spite of geographical distances between homes! YOU are célèbre & it's well deserved.
No such thing as coincidence - you were meant to meet - maybe? Great story and happy memories. Fx
What a small world... Who would have thought.. I think that is just great!
Wishing you a wonderful week.
Fondly,
Penny
OMD (comme on dit en français)! I've found that NYC is actually a small town—and apparently the same can be said of our beloved Paris. Here's to all our wonderful blog pals, wherever we manage to encounter them!
That is pure delight!
Can't tell you how much I love seeing these faces together! Peter was so generous with his time and talents when Rick and I visited. It's nice to see him again, and you, too!
That is so fantastic, Virginia! I can imagine how thrilled you all were, and I can see it in your beautiful smiles!

gorgeous picture, gorgeous people, gorgeous mempries
Virginia, you look stunning, ah the scarf and the beret make it so parisian. Wonderful story.
That is pretty remarkable. She took a good photo of the three of you, too.
Just catching up. Great photo and wonderful story! V, you and Peter are famous!
OMG! What a surprise to catch up on your blog this morning, Virginia, and then see myself smiling back at me. So good to "see" you and Peter again. And thanks to Mary for the great photo. Mon amie, Suz, was the one who kept saying, "You must say hello to them--they would be thrilled to know you follow their blogs." So glad we did. See you next trip??
Clista, please email me and I"ll send the high res of our photo!
