    No room in the Inn

    The only "no room at the inn" story I can tell you ended at a very nice, but quite cheap hotel. We had a lovely dinner, did our laundry in the bath, and slept until 10 the next morning. Absolutely lovely. A friend of mine ended up in a small village where all the inns were full - but the...
