Florian grimaced yesterday at the Mall of America when a salesman turned on an electronic massage device being ballyhooed by a street vendor. |
Florian's Dad, a veterinarian in Bavaria, writes:
I want to say "thank you" for being such good hosts to our son and his friend. I am the father of Florian. It is very interesting for us to see what the boys are doing when they are so far away. We are very glad and proud that Florian is doing this work and travel year, so he'll see many new things in another part of the world, independently, on his own.
We appreciate so much seeing the wonderful pictures of Flo and his friend, Felix. Thank you very much.
Best wishes from Bavaria,
Klaus W. and Family

What fun to get this note from Florian's folks. Soon after meeting the boys, it was clear they came from good families. Polite, gentle and well-mannered, they volunteer to help and express appreciation for anything done for them. We think they're remarkably mature and gifted for young men, ages 19 and 20.
They leave tomorrow after a three-day stay, and, unlike fish, they're still as fresh and welcome as the day they came.

We'll miss them.
