Or...
Overheard: the Plevna Bar
Stranger: Hey, ah** you guys Anna and Stephan?
Us (uncertainly): Yes.
Stranger: Ah'm Don! And this is Melissa!
Us: Hi. (??)
Stranger (Don): We reahd yauh blahg. I emailed you befoah.
Me: OH! Hi! I DO remember you. From Rhode Island?
No longer a Stranger (Don):Yah. It's wicked greaht to fahnlly meet you.
What followed was 2 hours of catching up with complete strangers, comparing notes about new experiences in Plevna and Montana, tips on how to survive, what to eat, what to do for fun, etc. etc. etc. I'll spare the details, but the bar made good money that night, and we made two new friends!
**Sorry to make fun of your accent, but it types out really well! After three beers it was really a hoot to hear Stephan's South side accent and Don's East Coast accent duel it out.
