Degrees of Separation

I read with interest on Miss Frou Frou's blog her article on 6 degrees of separation and realised that I too have coincidences with people to brag about.

1. Many years ago I went to South America for a holiday (long before it was fashionable) and took a train ride and then a bus to Machu Picchu. There was only a couple of Indians, a dozen or two llamas and one other tourist there when I arrived and when meeting up with this person I asked him to take a picture for me with my camera. The person was an Australian and after many questions we discovered that he had gone to school with my elder sister!

2. My middle sister's husband joined the police force and in his class was the man I later married - not very strange but this is - Philip lived in Newcastle and when he came down to Sydney to join the Police he boarded in a house in Waterloo.
That house was the house my father grew up in and opposite the house my mother lived in.

There are other stories of strange connections that have occurred within my life but these two always stand out in my memory.
It really is a small world!!
