Travel synchronicities are always interesting and during our trip to Washington state ib May, we had several that qualify as mind-blowers. Since Megan drove across the country with her dog, Riley, we kept mentioning John Steinbeck’s book, Travels with Charlie. In a used bookstore in Anacortes, Rob came across a hardback of the book selling for $75. We didn’t buy it, but that was the first level of the synchro.
The following day, we took the car ferry to San Juan island, a trip of about an hour, and explored the island. A great day of exploration and marveling at the beauty of the island. We got into the ferry line around six for the trip back. A large van pulled up alongside us with a guy and his dog – a boxer. Megan remarked how cute the dog was, so I lowered my window and asked him how old his Boxer was.
“He’s a rescue, so probably around four or five,”
Riley spotted the Boxer and started growling, which drew the Boxer to the driver window.
“What’s his name?” I asked,.
“”Charlie. We’re driving across the country.”
My synchro alarm shrieked.
“That’s what I just did with Riley,” Megan said. “Orlando to Anacortes.”
A lively conversation ensued about the synchronicity, we introduced ourselves. It turns out that Andy Selinger has a You Tube channel about his travels with Charlie through the lower 48 states.
So I invited him to appear on our podcast.
He’s going to be our guest this Sunday, August 4. Looking forward to talking with him – and with Charlie!
So cool. You guys meet the most interesting people during your travels. Great synchro.
He was a good guest, too. That episode comes out next week. Will send.
