My wife

I’ve traveled a lot.  Many years and over 80 countries but these last 11 months have been different. People have been more friendly and helpful and often invite us into their homes or give us gifts.  Maybe because the world has opened again?  I wasn’t sure until last night.  We are staying in a small village in Croatia with a few rooms.  The dining area only accepts one party for the evening and we were fortunate to have dinner there. Lisa takes great interest in knowing the history and culture as well as spending many hours to learn the language.  I’ve given up on communication as she is more efficient and welcoming.  Back to dinner - our host at the BnB also presented the meal and drinks.  Lisa immediately showed interest in their culture, language, and family.  Natasha was enamored by her interest and soon said her heart was full because of Lisa’s smile, interest, and the “sun that radiated” from her. I now understand why people are more friendly - my wife.
