Bon Voyage Rebecca and Peter

Rebecca and Peter stayed with us for several weeks while getting their paperwork sorted out for a move to Jordan. Originally when they began their stay with us here at Gallery House, they thought they were headed to Saudia Arabia. You see, they're both English teachers (TOEFL) and have lived and worked all over the world. They reared their family in Argentina and most recently were employed in VietNam.

While here in Louisville, they were able to visit with Rebecca's family, then after a brief visit to Peter's family they start their new jobs in Jordan. By the time you read this they will be there! We had many interesting discussions on the merits of the American healthcare system compared to healthcare around the world, politics, the arts (Peter is a violinist) and of course cats. Our princess kitty Maggie was quite enamoured with Rebecca and Peter and Marlow was usually more than happy to entertain them by pouncing on various toys.

Gordon and I wish them a safe trip to their new home and know that Peter in particular will enjoy the warmer weather!

Gordon and I thank you again for the gift of the handcrafted wooden deer made by Rebecca's father. It's sitting on our mantel right now. And, really, he should open an etsy shop!

This is one of the best things about being an innkeeper - meeting people from all over the world!
