Friends on the Road

This post is about how comforting it is to have friends along with you on the road.  This is a picture I snapped last Sunday of my friends Jason and Chava playing at Café de Beligique.  Jason and I figured out that we've known each other 2/3 of his life (a little more than half of mine).  This past week he and Chava stayed with me for a few days to save hotel room costs while they were in Amsterdam.  I was a bit worried about what it would be like to share a room with two other folks, but it was *lovely* to have them along.  We visited some old friends one night in Utrecht.  Another night we just hung out and played music in the hotel bar downstairs.  Normally I don't have so much fun on the road, but this trip was a rare exception.  Thanks, kids!
