Experience of 007 Travelers: Self-made

"We arrived at the house just as the sky was beginning to pale. Jose's mother opened the door warily to our knock, but appeared delighted when she saw me and quickly pulled us both inside. Through sign language, I managed to ask her if we could use the small upstairs room again, and when she disappeared into the kitchen, I rushed upstairs and went straight to the bed.The relief was extraordinary: there it was, the Delco radio, wedged into the corner under the bed where I'd left it. I went back to downstairs with a lighter heart. Jose's mother emerged from the kitchen a few minutes later with the inevitable bowls of fish stew, beans and rice. We ate them watching dawn break over the port. I felt the excitement flood back into my veins. It was the 4th of October."
