Finding more of your own kind. Two in one night!

I'm telling you, we're a club.

So were at Park Street Cantina during the festival last night, and as I'm getting a couple beers this guy turns and asks me, "where've you been?" I was slightly confused. I didn't have a stamp or wristband on; what's this dude talking about? I look down at his own wrist as I am looking for some sort of explanation, and found it. Hook bracelet around the wrist. He was asking about mine and which island it was from. His was from St. John too, and turns out he has a place there and was/is trying to purchase a charter boat company. Unreal! I can't express enough how much I love running into people who's heart is in the same place as mine. "People just don't understand," he said as we joked about the story behind the bracelet, and more importantly about life in the islands itself. I need to get back soon.

And about an hour later while at The Social Room, another guy sitting next to me on the roof patio pointed out that he also had one. How many people have I met since getting mine, you ask? Total now stands at five.
