People often ask us where most of our guests come from. The answer is that most do come from Ohio and neigboring states. Many looking for a vacation in a beautiful country setting such as Amish Coutnry, but who don't want to drive to far and spend a huge amount, end up staying with us.
But we do have guests from farther away. This past few weeks have been very international for us.
One night we had some walk-ins who were two Geologists. Giuseppe was from Rome, Italy and was an really good self taught pianist. After breakfast he played some Bach pieces very well for not being able to read music.
The other scientist was from Germany and his wife from Vietnam.
I enjoy using my limited German and speaking Deutsche with a real native.
This past week we had Cornelius and Dorothee stay with us (picture above). They were traveling in the States and are from Holland. I asked them if there really are a lot of tulips and they said there are and they are very impressive.
They had heard of Corrie Ten Boom, a true follower of Christ, who was from Amsterdam and who helped many Jews escape from the holocaust. Her autobiography, The Hiding Place, is a great book and was also made into a movie. The Boom house in which many Jews were hidden is not far from where Cornelius and Dorothee live.
Having international guests is one of the blessings of running a bed and breakfast. We meet so many people from so many walks of life and from so many places in the world!
I found your blog and I joined it. I just fell in love with it.
ReplyDeleteI love what you do being an innkeeper.
I am 44 yrs old and my husband is 48 yrs old and
I am a homemaker and I can, make everything from stratch and I will it.
Our oldest son is 20 and is in college but now he is home and our youngest is 17 and is going to be a senior, but after having a huge hand in doing the bully bill, I tell all that have younger kiddo's to home school.
If I could turn back the clock I would have home schooled our sons.
We are very strong in our faith(Christians) and my husband and I pray every morning before he heads off to work.
I really wanted to let you know alittle about our life.
In 7 years we are moving from the small town that we live in Hopkinton, Mass to Cobsy, Tenneesse. We go every year in the mountains and we just fell in love with the simple life style.
So there you go I wanted to tell you a little about my family and myself.
The Lord is first in our hearts and then family.
We have been married for 23 beautiful, wonderful years.
I hope you come on by and join my blog.
I LOVE yours a lot!
Blessings,
Tricia

What a wonderful time you must have had visiting with them! I have read much on Corrie ten Boom and gleaned so much from her wisdom and faith! :)
