Bill & Suzie

It has occurred to me that there has been all this talk about our friends Bill and Suzie, but you've yet to see them! Bill & Suzie are good friends of ours from college, are perfect hosts (tirelessly patient, gracious, and energetic!), and extremely well-traveled.

The two of them have lived lives most people will only ever dream of and they are very unassuming about this achievement. They also have the best, most-friendly dog in the world, a portuguese water dog named Higgins who has been a great pal to us.

We have been their fortunate guests for a week now and it seems, to us at least, that the time has been so short. We will miss them very much and I'm not sure how we'll ever repay the kindness they have shown to us here. What special friends!
