Celeste quickly made me feel right at home. She introduced me to her friend John and invited me out on the deck (nice views) to visit with them and hear some of their stories and tell a bit of mine. Seems she has an international house where she has hosted people from around the world. When I was there, a young man from Germany was staying for a few weeks and a woman from Hong Kong was visiting for a time.
I cooked dinner using her grill that was gifted by another guest and didn't feel that someone was watching over my shoulder; Celeste was very gracious even snapping a photo of me grilling which I sent to my mother on her new Chromebook.
I will be back if only to visit with Celeste and, of course, rent a room.
