One degree of separation.

 Our Servas hosts in Muthill, north of Edinburgh, invited Servas friends to join for dinner.  It turns out that these guests had recently traveled in Myanmar, and had met twice with the same Servas day host that we met with twice!  Small world.

And what are the odds that the three Servas hosts that we have stayed with so far would all be into long distance cycling?  Across France for one, and two couples with round the world trips.  I am going to try bike commuting when I get home, and this inspires me to try longer trips.  Bicycling can be the right scale – not as slow as walking and slower than a car or train.
