Overnight Guest

Yesterday afternoon, there was a quiet knock on the door. When I opened it, there was a young man with a bicycle, who asked me very politely if he might pitch a tent in our field for the night.

Meet Ferdinand. He arrived in Boston three days ago from Germany, and plans to ride his bicycle all the way to San Francisco over the next 65 days. We wish him the best of luck, and hope he has a safe and memorable trip. He's welcome to camp in our field any time!
