Three weeks of guests

In the last three weeks, we've had only two nights without couchsurfers or airbnb guests.

First we hosted an American couple living in England. When they left, an Argentinian lady called Paula came to stay with us for two nights. On the second day that she was staying, one of our former Italian hosts came. Paula was really surprised when we told her that the Italian man was vegan. We explained that he doesn't eat eggs, cheese or yoghurt, or anything like that, to her, and she said, "So he doesn't eat steak either?'
We asked Paula whether she ate steak three times a day, because that's what Argentinians are famous for eating, and she replied, "No, not three times a day, only two". Somehow, that still seems like a lot of steak to me.

Giovanni (the Italian guy) stayed at our house for a long time, but he spent a few nights away during his stay. One of the guests who we had staying over at the same time as him is called Robin. Robin was a volunteer at the Olympics, and is from Manchester. He taught my sister and I a really cool card trick.

After that, we had an American family stay for two nights. They had two children, one aged nearly 12, and the other one aged nearly 10. They were one of our best guests. We went to Covent Garden, Waterstones, Trafalgar Square and Green Park with them. We learnt card tricks with them, too.

As well as having loads of guests, we went kitchensurfing, and recently we went to a picnic with some couchsurfers.
