So we swung into LP community at about10pm and stayed up talking 'til midnight.
It feels a lot like home - the Brownhouse - the same way Sojourners does in SF. Three adults and a little boy, Micah, live in this home. There are three more community houses that make up LP and a number of folks who have their own apartments, too.
We're staying in Patience's room. She's from Boston, originally. I think she speaks French - there's an Amelie poster on the wall and (more compelling evidence towards this theory) there's a phrase glued to her laptop:
douce comme un ange respondant le bonheur et un sourire partout oi elle va
Babel fish translates this to:
soft like an angel respondant happiness and a smile everywhere oi it goes
What a relief it is to be away from home, even if it's only a hundred miles.
