Saying farewell to yet another truly awesome human being. Kenneth has hosted over 100 people from all over the world. He loves playing host and prefers people stay a while. He hosted me for 5 nights in Mobile, introducing me to his hometown, friends and family in the process. He transported me back and forth to yesterday’s stopping point, last night and this morning, dropping me off on the Hwy 90 expressway at dawn. Though I’m a veteran of goodbyes, parting from this golden-heart amigo nearly brought little tears to my eyes… Thanks for everything, Kenneth!!

Fairhope, Alabama. Live flowers growing atop trash cans makes this small city I know nothing about feel very welcoming, especially amid many storms today...
