Kindness of strangers

Andrew Forsthoefel, who describes himself as "a 23-year-old wonderer, wanderer, whathaveyou" from Chadds Ford, is on a cross-country walking tour in search of "the most basic human interface of them all: stories. Every one of us has an extraordinary story worth hearing, and I’m walking the country to listen."
He left home on Oct. 14, heading south, and is crossing Texas right now. You can follow along on his blog, "Walking to Listen," which he updates regularly with stories and photos. In the post I just read, he takes time to thank dozens of folks who have helped him out with everything from kind words to rides to accommodations to food (like a barbeque sausage, rice, and beans lunch, "a bomb seafood dinner," and "some ambrosial rabbit" down South).
