el mundo pequeño

Here´s some lite fare to follow up my previous monster-sized post. A friend of mine from the Jewish community invited me to attend his sister´s wedding Saturday night, a huge event attended by upwards of 300 people. After a rousing hora, I found myself standing next to a woman that looked remarkably familiar. The odds of running into someone I know at a private event in Guatemala City are so slim that I figured this was just the result of my having left my glasses at home. When the woman returned my perplexed gaze, however, I confirmed that it was indeed ZU, my neighbor from the freshman dorms at Wesleyan! The bride was her cousin, and she was down for the week visiting family. What are the odds? We had the opportunity to talk and catch up, and of course take a here´s-proof-that-I-ran-into-someone-I-know-in-the-least-likely-of-places digital photo. One of the best rounds of Jewish Geography ever.
