Here's a quick story that we find pretty humorous. Hopefully you will too. While we were in Croatia enjoying the sites, my mother (Scott's mom) was browsing one of her favorite websites, www.worldisround.com where she and lots of other people post their travel photographs.
[If you get a chance, check out her photos, they are pretty cool.]
While browsing through the site, she decided to look at Croatia pictures to see what sort of things we were seeing. Afer browsing one particularly recent photo collection, she decided to email it to us, to let us know that she was looking at Croatia photos while we were in Croatia. After our return to the States, we were checking our email, saw her message and started browsing the colleciton. The poster visited a number of locations that we didn't, so we scrolled down to the photos from Split, the first town we were in.
One of the Split photos on the site is of the Silver Gate, which was next to our hotel. Since we recognized the location, we paid particularly close attention to that photo and noticed that in the lower right hand corner there seemed to be something familiar.....US. That's right, some random stranger took a photo in Split, Croatia, posted it on the internet, it just happened to catch us eating breakfast on the 2nd day of our honeymoon and without even knowing we were in the photo my mom was browsing this person's site and emailed us the link. That's a lot of coincidences.
Click the photo below to see a larger version and look in the lower right
hand corner. You will see a guy in a green shirt and a hat and he's with an
attractive blonde....
