Wizard of Oss

This is the 2nd part of my fabulous story about meeting the Dutchman, the fabulous "Wizard of Oss."

We arrived at a beautiful hotel in Oss and were wiped out since the time change was 6 hours difference. The next morning we decided to take a quick walk around the town. It was enjoyable but as all tourists venturing out alone in a foreign land, we found ourselves lost and unable to find our hotel. Thank God my male friend was agreeable to asking directions!

We wondered into a random store in our travels. It was a produce store and the owner came over to greet us. We told him we were from America on business and needed to get back to our hotel. My boyfriend told him the name of the company he was with in Oss and he immediately grinned and said, "I know who you are."

Well, it turned out that my Dutchman was the store owner's best friend and he was telling him about our visit. To make it even more interesting, the store owner wanted to play a trick on his best friend and gave us shirts with his store logo and asked if we would wear them later that night when we went over to the Dutchman's house.

When we walked into the house, his eyes almost popped out of his head. He wanted to know where we got the shirts. I told him I bought them on Ebay (since this is how we met in the first place) and he did not believe me. I tried to fool him for as long as I could but finally burst into laughter and told him the truth.

Out of all of the shops we passed, why did we stop at this one?????
The answer is simple......fate lead us to his door!!!!
