Years ago, when we first went to Canada, thought were driving through Montana to Colorado with our two children. We thought we'd find a hotel on the way without1ahead of time. As it was getting late, we started looking for a hotel, only to find that all the hotels were full.
2, around 9 pm, we stopped at a gas station to fill up on gas. My husband told the woman at the counter that we were 3 to find a hotel. She told us it would be 4 at such late time in a busy season. Noticing that we were worried, she said we could spend the night at her home nearly.
Though surprised at her 5 we gladly accepted it. She then called her son to come and lead the way, since she had to work until midnight. Soon a pick-up truck arrived and we 6 it. When we reached their home, her husband 7 us. He invited us to have coffee and we chatted when8 his wife. She came past 12. We asked if we could leave 9 in the morning so as to disturb them. They said we were now guests and we'd have to have breakfast with them.
Next morning, around the table were many people, and we were10 that they would take in total 11 from a different country. After breakfast, when we were 12 , my husband asked if he could offer some 13 . But they said no. Then we left. We kept in 14for many year. Later we lost contact, but over the years we have never forgotten their 15.
