After Jed and I returned from our hike, we headed to the hostel to shower and get a good dinner at neighborhood Como Vaca, a small parilla or restaurant grill, that had been recommended to us from other travelers. When we were walking to our table, I noticed a guy wearing an atheletic William and Mary shirt. I nudged Jed and then headed to their table. ¨Did you go to William and Mary?¨I asked, expecting the typical, Öh yeah, I graduated in the year blah blah... good to meet someone else from there¨response. But after he said yes and we talked about when we had graduated, one of the two girls sitting across from him exclaimed, ¨Wait! Aren´t you in my Theta family?¨And sure enough, in a tiny trekking town with just 100 souls that live year round, I had run into Joanna, my littleX5 in the sorority. I had only met her once before, at a family brunch during homecoming, but that was enough to get us talking and excited over running into each other so randomly.
We ate dinner there, an amazing restaurant that I highly recommend for anyone that visits the area. Jed, per usual, got a steak, and I got the lamb ravioli and we sat for over an hour, just enjoying our food and sharing a nice bottle of wine. It was not the last time we would eat there during our stay in El Chalten. :)
