My wife and I were traveling by train through rural Romania about ten years ago and we met an elderly Asian lady with a heavy accent on the train. She asked: “Jeff and Su, you tell me, where I from?”
Me: “Vietnam?”
Her: “No. I from Sequim!”
Me: “Really? That’s a coincidence. I’m from Port Townsend (about 30 miles away).”
Her: “That’s right!”
Weird conversation followed. She ran a cafe in Sequim called Sunny’s (her name was Sunny) and I stopped in on a visit back to the NW several years later but didn’t see her.
I owned a business from 1995-1999 right across the street from Sunny’s. ( My mom still owns the building).
Great breakfast place.
You deserve special recognition for living in Port Townsend and maintaining your sanity!
