The Peacock 720

 There are three other guests here besides me.  One is an older guy, Aaron, in his sixties.  He's an artist and writer, and traveller, speaks fluent Spanish and spends  lot of his time in Latin America.  Also  very strong Christian.  And very funny.  And there's Jesús, from Colombia.  He is around your age, a journalist, and came here as a refugee because his life was in danger in Colombia.  He is really nice, really quiet.  Hard to get to know, but seems to have quite an interesting past.  And Carol, also in her sixties.  She is actually very famous, a concert pianist and you might have heard of her, Carol Barlow-Meade?"
