The past few months have been particularly "international" at the TRI. I've had guests from Thailand, Korea, Denmark, Canada, Italy, the Phillipines, Rwanda, and three parties from Germany. Not bad for the middle of Kansas!
The other day I got an unscheduled visit from a couple who, judging by their names and accents, I took to be German. Wrong! They are from an ethnically German area of Italy where they grew up bilingual. Currently they live in Canada, and were vacationing in the American West. With English they are least trilingual, which leaves me a little awestruck. I thought that they emobodied this international summer, and how fitting that they visited at the very end!
