I am in Spain tonight, San Sebastian to be precise. I love it here! So I got off the plane, and came down to get my bags. I didn't know the person that was meeting me other than that his name was Juan. As I came down the stairs, I met eyes with a man, and the words that went through my head were "Please...God...let...that...be...him." God answers prayers because that was him! After we got underway, I found a sly way to find out if he was married, single! Hot damn. Living with his girlfriend. HMMPPHHH! Ok, well hot anyway, and he isn't married, so I could flirt at least and have fun. He dropped me off at the hotel so I could take a shower (majorly needed) then he would pick me up for dinner. The shower was SPLENDID! As I am waiting in the lobby for him to return, a man walks into the lobby, obviously American. I don't know how that was obvious, it wasn't any one thing, but you travel enough you pick up on certain cues. We made eye contact, he smiled, and I think I squinted (friendly, huh?). But I kept thinking I know that man. Then I reminded myself I was a quarter the way around the world and wouldn't know anyone here. Until five minutes later, it dawned on me who that was! It was the President of one of my suppliers from my former desk. And actually a company that my hot companion knew of and we had discussed on the way from the airport. I told him of the odd coincidence as we headed for dinner.
Dinner tonight consisted of going from pub to pub, having a LOT of red wine and a snack at each place. It was fun. We left one place, and we are walking down the cobblestone street when I see Mark, the President from the lobby, walking with two others, right in front of us. I asked Juan if he wanted to meet him and he said yes. So I got Mark's attention only to find him with my boss' boss! And Inigo, who works for Mark, but I love his name simply because it reminds me of the Princess Bride. The five of us spent the rest of the evening together and it was a lot of fun and probably better because I had a lot of wine and Juan is hot and Taken...Taken and hot...just Taken!!!!
My hotel room looks over the bay that goes into the ocean, I have the sound of waves to rock me to sleep. Speaking of which, it is 12:30 AM here, time to hit the hay....night all....
Dolce Beijos!
