While traveling in Canada on a bird watching tour on an island outside Québec, we met a nice, young man called Alain.
In the days before internet and social media, it was common to swap addresses upon departing and say, "Come and visit if you're in the area."
So, a while later, we actually took Alain up on his offer. We knocked on his door, just thinking we'd have a cup of tea and nice chat, but to our surprise, his lovely mum ended up cooking a delicious dinner for us!
Then, we were even invited to stay the night! We also had fun trying to speak French with his girlfriend, who couldn't speak English.
It was a great evening.
