Friend

7 × 10 inch watercolor on archival paper

By Timothy Colomer

As Robert and Mike wandered through the streets of Japan, they unexpectedly came face to face with a local.

Neither of them spoke much Japanese.

Their new friend didn't speak much English.

The conversation began with a lot of smiles, confused looks, and enthusiastic pointing. Every few moments, the crane would gesture in a direction and repeat the same word over and over.

Robert and Mike looked at each other, shrugged, and started communicating the only way travelers often can... with hand signals.

A wave.

Another wave.

Then Robert mimicked standing on a surfboard.

Suddenly, their new friend burst into laughter.

"Ahhh... surfing!"

With a wide smile, he pointed toward the coast, where some of Japan's best waves rolled in from the Pacific Ocean.

Sometimes the greatest adventures don't begin with a map.

Sometimes they begin with meeting a stranger who becomes a friend.

If you found yourself in Japan, would you paddle out and catch a wave?
