Sometimes I get the impression that the NEWS would have us believe that there are so many bad and unpredictable people in the world, that we should always make it a practice of looking over our shoulders and meet people with the armor of suspicion. Yet this doesn't seem to bear witness to our 'couch surfing' experiences. The latest family that we stayed with in Sete was gracious beyond measure. They filled us with seafood, wine, desserts, excellent conversations, that special 'drink' that all French families seem to save for special occassions and invitations to continued friendships. Our host and hostess' son though only fifteen was developing the self reflective insights of a man. We became friends and I look forward to seeing him again.
