a thing in 18 photos in 2011 strangers showing 2011 only · show all years On the way back from our hike, we met a friendly Australian and chatted a bit in the shade while we waited for the tide to go down... Afterparty at Lucy's, woooo! ...piano & banjo combo! These two were stopped at a traffic light and I asked if I could take a photo of their awesomeness. So good! Congrats, other Meredith! Let's hear it for internet strangers! Later that night, we went to Lucy's to say hi to Meredith who was in town from Wisconsin with her friends to celebrate her bachelorette party! With Babuska lady for scale. ...and immediately turned me into a pigeon-perch! Nom nom. I chatted with him a bit (very nice guy) and asked him if I could have some birdseed. He reached into his pockets... Me? Oh, you know. Just chillin . On the walk back through the park, we stopped to watch a gentleman who was making a big show of getting crazy with the pigeons. Leigh thinks pigeons are terrible filth-birds and couldn't even watch what he was doing. Hahaha. Just hanging out on the beach twirling my umbrella. You know how I do. On our way back to the bar, we ran into this girl on the street who looked like my sister from another mister! Playing Ms Pacman! 10 POINTS! If you've got to talk to strangers and ask them to do weird things, you want Catrinel on your team! Not even a block later, jazz hands with a stranger! 10 POINTS! Before we'd even left the park, Cat managed to charm a stranger into letting her push a baby in stroller. 10 POINTS! Stranger passed out in a park! 10 POINTS!
