Couchsurfers

We didn't intend on hosting any "official" couchsurfers during our stay in Paris, for the simple reason that we were (and still are!) planning on hosting so many "unofficial" couchsurfers - meaning people we already know, friends like Robert, family like Jacob.*

But Maggie got word from a girl she couchsurfed with in Milwaukee that a guy she had met in Lesotho was going to be in Paris and needed a place to stay. Turns out the guy's partner graduated from Carleton a year or two after Maggie.

So on Monday night, we hosted Josh and Phil, and even though we didn't get to spend much time with them, we're happy to have furthered the cause of couchsurfing and to have made some new friends.

We went for the meta, "we're taking a picture of you while you're taking a picture of us" shot.

* For any potential "informal" couchsurfers still planning a visit, we're all booked up between Dec. 22 and January 24.
