the delighted caravan lands on our doorstep

our most recent couchsurfers, marie and vincent, collectively
"the delighted caravan", landed on our doorstep last night. both are engineers in paris, and in late june they climbed into a camper van and left their jobs and home behind in france to travel for one year. they should hit greece by september and then they'll leave the van behind and head out on foot to india. yep, that means trekking through turkey, iran and pakistan on foot.

so we talked through most of the night about work, life, travel, language, couchsurfing, politics and all that stuff. and they taught us a great line - "j'en ai ras le cul les couchsurfers" - to use with our next french couchsurfers. well it's great assuming they have a sense of humor and don't get offended easily... oh, you can try the free online translators on this one, but they don't quite reveal the poetry of it.
