So, they say that it is a small world, but we're convinced that this story takes the cake.
This past Sunday we were strolling through the town on the last day of the grape festival, enjoying the free wine, when all of a sudden Charles noticed a strange shirt in the distance. We often see strange shirts as Italians generally like to wear anything with English words printed on it (a few weeks ago I spotted one that said "ice-cream is my like"), but this one was not an ordinary strange shirt.
As he dragged me towards the woman, I realized she was wearing a sweatshirt very similar to the one I had on; a Central Washington University hoodie! In my only slightly wine-affected mind I couldn't comprehend what my eyes were seeing. We gaped for a few moments until I made Charles go up and ask her where she got that shirt.
As luck would have it, this woman did not speak a lick of English. We tried to show her the similarities between the words on my sweatshirt and her own, but she just laughed and nodded, obviously not undersanding the gravity of the situation. And so we are left without closure on this strangest of occurences...how did this woman come to own a CWU shirt? And why can't we speak Italian well enough to ask her that very question?!
Someone call Robert Stack, this mystery needs solving.
