Nothing quite calms the mind like a long, leisurely walk in the woods.
That’s precisely what Margot Gerster did Thursday to quell her disappointment with Republican Donald Trump’s stunning victory in Tuesday’s U.S. election.
Hiking in Chappaqua, N.Y. with her daughters, Gerster stumbled upon another woman also apparently seeking to clear her mind: former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
“We were the only ones there and it was so beautiful and relaxing,” Gerster wrote on Facebook, in a post that could no longer be viewed by late Thursday. “As we were leaving, I heard a bit of rustling coming towards me and as I stepped into the clearing there she was, Hillary Clinton and Bill with their dogs doing exactly the same thing as I was.”
Gerster, with one of her daughters on her back, posed for a photo with Clinton. According to comments left on Gerster’s Facebook post detailing the run-in, former President Bill Clinton himself snapped the shot.
“I got to hug her and talk to her and tell her that one of my most proudest moments as a mother was taking Phoebe with me to vote for her,” Gerster added on Facebook. “She hugged me and thanked me and we exchanged some sweet pleasantries and then I let them continue their walk.”
