Guests Bearing Gifts!

We meet the most interesting people.  During the past few weeks we have been extremely busy hosting guests for the College World Series and the Olympic Swim Trials.  These guest were normally early risers and would return late; spending little time in our home as they focus on the activities of their respective events.   However, we did have a couple from the Dominican Republic stay with us. 


We received an e-mail from Danilo requesting a room and information on the sites to see in and around Omaha.  He was swimming in the Master's Swim Meet and after the meet they were going to take a few days to see the sites.  In our correspondence, he asked if we liked ground or coffee beans.  Beans of course (daaa!). 

Lilianna and Danilo

He and Lilianna arrived and handed me two pounds of Santa Dominican coffee.  He told me; and I agreed, that would be saved for our own personal use.  

They were a lovely couple and we spend several enjoyable breakfasts learning about each other's countries.  Both Danilo and Lilianna worked in an exclusive resort in their country (Casa de Campo) and they showed us gorgeous photographs of the resort.  In turn we directed them to local sites, vineyards and museums which they enjoyed.  They invited us to come to their country where they offered to show us around.  Who knows!!   

We have a beautiful state; however, I never dreamt that someone from an exclusive Caribbean resort would be vacationing in our neighborhood.  Neat!
