We arrived safe, sound, and somewhat sleepy

Are those Americans back in town?

Yes, I saw them unload a ton of suitcases from their car, though I have yet to smell les cookies American (chocolate chip cookies.)

Really? Well I thought I heard them splashing in their fountain.

Oh that’s right that fountain…did you ever see it?

No, but I saw the hunk that was working there!
