Gotta Love Them Italians!
So let me tell you a funny story from my extravaganzas in Boston.
It was a beautiful Thursday afternoon and my team and I were roaming the streets of Little Italy on the North End to find a place to eat lunch, when suddenly I heard a voice out of nowhere say “Hey! Hey!”. I ignored it, thinking I was crazy, but after a while I decided to turn around and see which one of the hooligans on my team was messing with Katherine and I. To my surprise it was NOT one of my friends, rather, it was two older Italian toursits that had gotten into the mix of our crew. I was so confused! THEN, they began to say “It’s her! It’s her!”. All I could think was Yep, it’s MEEEE, starting to get a little ceeped out. I tried to walk on ignoring the two men but even more they continued to say “It’s her! It’s her!” but this time they added to their exclamations “She’s the girl from that one movie!”. NOW I was really confused. I wanted to burst out laughing but before I could catch a breathe I was being pulled under one of the man’s arms while his friend started taking picture of the two of us. It was then that I heard “She’s the one from Titanic”. Finally the dots were connected. Someone else said “Kate Winslet?”. The two man began to joyously respond “Yes, yes, yes”, continuing to take pictures. Being the awkward girl I am I immediately started to pull away saying “What the heck? No I am NOT her” trying to hold back the hysterical laughter that was welling up inside of me. This remark didn’t phase those two at all. The man kept me under his arm and his buddy continued to snap the pictures. What I didn’t know at the time was that my good friend, Katherine Nixon, was reassuring them the whole time that I was in indeed her (Kate Winslet) and that I just get shy when people realize it’s me which is why I was telling them I’m not who they think I was. (THANKS by the way love! You are so very kind!) Well anyways, I finally got loose and jumped out of the flurry of people with my team following behind me, laughing up a storm. They preceded to call me Kate for the rest of the day and occasionally throughout the trip, referring to themselves as my entourage, cracking jokes right and left about my secret celebrity life! Even though I was freaked out and completely overwhelmed with confusion and bewilderment in the midst of the experience, it was definitely a highlight from the trip! I mean DANG! She’s a good lookin woman, I don’t mind the compliment at all. Hahahah I personally don’t think we look that alike but HEY I’ll take it. :) Good times! Good times! This is only one of the hilarious things that happened in our time together! God was so good to bring some pretty funny experiences our way during our time in the city which brought us much closer as a team. We had so much fun! Thank You Jesus!
(This is what I looked like on Thursday. Could I pass? You decide.)
