Familiar

I'm getting ready to go pick up Leanna at the airport, and by pick up I mean show up on the bus so I can show her which bus to take back to Amstelveen, and bring her a "strippen card" so it's cheaper to ride the bus.

Yesterday, at the bio market, I asked the man tallying my purchases if the tea I picked out has caffeine or not. I wanted it to, and thought that it was a black tea variety, but couldn't really tell. It was too much English for him, so he gestured for me to ask another guy there who was busy packing up for the day.

When I got his attention to ask, he says "wassup?" I thought to myself, that sounds familiar... Asked him my question, got my answer, and then he jokes that the guy who was helping me knows all the answers until he (wassup guy) walks away. I asked him where he was from, wanting to confirm my guess. He answers "the States". I must have had a "duh" look on my face, because he said "Sacramento" as I was saying "I'm from California". I said "I thought you sounded familiar." Then I told him I grew up in Placerville, and after talking about high schools, and favorite ski resorts, said "see you next week", since the market's every Tuesday.

Small world indeed. A familiar accent yesterday, and today a familiar friendly face :)
