もう一つの出逢い

コロナとジントニックのあとちょっとお腹が減って、ビーチの近くのレストランに1人で行ったの…
レストランは新婚旅行の人たちがいっぱいで、なんだかちょっと気まずい感じ…
店内を見渡すと私のほかに1人で食事している男性を発見…
1人で食事してるのは彼と私の2人だけ…
目が合って、彼が私のところに来てくれたの…
彼の名前はクレイグで、ウェストバージニアから来たんだって…
お互いの色んな話をして、気が付いたらレストランが閉店してたの…
それに気づかないまま1時間もしゃべってたのよ…
それからもう閉店してたバーに行ったんだけど、ウェイターさんがいいよって言ってくれて彼も一緒に話してたわ…
私たち三人は朝方までしゃべり続けて、ほんっとに楽しかったぁ…
彼はボラボラ島を朝に出発するから、私もそこへ行ってまた会うことにしたわ…
この島は私にこんなに素敵な人々と出会うことによって自分自身についても教えてくれたの…
タヒチよ、ありがとう…


Another Encounter

After a day of only a Corona and Gin Tonic I was a little hungry

so I went to dine by myself near the beach..

The restaurant was full of honeymooners and I felt a little out of place...

As I was eating I look over and see another gentlemen eating by himself too..

We were the only two people in the whole restaurant eating alone..

We make eye contact and he came over to say Hello..

His name was Craig from West Virginia.

We started talking about ourselves and we look around and see the restaurant has been closed..

We had been talking for hours without realizing it.

We proceeded to the bar which was also closed but our waiter decided to open it up and join
us..

The three of us talked till the early morning and it was so much fun..

He was leaving for Bora Bora in the morning and since I will also be going there we decided to meet there..

This island has taught me so much about myself by meeting such incredible people..

Thanks Tahiti ....
