The older man was hitch hiking and the younger one had driven to our spot for a smoke break. Kevin went over & started talking to them, pretty soon we were all over there talking and laughing. The younger guy had to leave and we decided to go over to the older mans house. His name was Patrick and he lived in a big nice house 5 minutes away from the lake. As we pulled into the long steep drive, we were greeted by an army of barking shitzus of various sizes. Patrick's wife Charlotte waved at us and attempting to quite some of the dogs. We took a quick tour of the gardens & then we were in the house, which while looked nice on the outside, had evidence of the dogs all over. We spent a long time in that house, most of it was spent listening to Patrick go on about all sorts of ideas. He had some honey mushroom wine that we all had a small amount of. We were all apprehensive to drink it, but it ended up not being very strong. The effects were barley noticeable. It was finally time for us to leave.
We enjoyed the couples company, but it was obvious that they were starved of company themselves. Particularly younger minds from America. We promised to come back and see the land that Patrick was trying to sell. He claimed that he was building a community built around a Tibetan Center. We were all intrigued and Kevin & Heather thought it might be a good place to start their vision.
