Yumi and Bill were such lovely hosts and sweet caring couple, each with his/her own unique character, humor and gentle spirit. Their home is beautiful but what made it special for me was their genuine caring towards me. I felt so welcomed and looked after as if I was part of their family during my week-long stay. Despite much of my days was spent outside of their home, I had thoroughly enjoyed many laughs, giggles, and thoughtful conversations about spirituality, travels, politics, cultures, and philosophy with both Yumi and Bill at dinners and quick gatherings in their kitchen/dining area. Yumi is such a great cook and home-maker and Bill is quite a philosopher with much wisdom. I loved watching their sweet exchanges of humor and love with each other, and would love to return some day soon to reconnect in person again.
