They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return."It started as a crazy idea," Liz said "We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories. People will talk to us about anything: their jobs, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything."Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went.Marcia had lest her husband to a serious disease. "That was very heavy on my mind,” Marcia said "To be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good," she explainedTo celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year. A few hundred people showed up, as well as some television cameramen and reporters.They may plan more parties or try to attract mare people to join their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something they say they'll consider.
