I hit the jackpot for this concert weekend..... usually I dread it so much, they stick me with this awkward random host family and it's just awful. But this time?

I have a bedroom that has its own private deck overlooking the entire ocean

My host family greeted me last night with beer and klondike bars and a fire on the patio

They were like, please join us for all our meals, we were thinking of having lobster for dinner tomorrow, but maybe you don't like lobster? (me: )

I watched the sun rise on my private deck and then I went for a run on the beach, the husband took me fishing, I caught a big bluefish and we filetted it and grilled it for breakfast

He's an architect and we spent all morning talking about Bauhaus and how he designed a studio for Previn

Just, wow wow wow. It's an incredible break from what's going on at home.
