"Youth" Hostels and Elder Romance

​    Come to find out, youth hostels aren’t just for kids!

   ​ Sipping coffee in the restaurant at the Youth Hostel Edinburgh Central, I’m seeing characters of every age.  There is the group of north-of-40 travelers (my people!) who haven’t seen each other in years and keep kissing.  At the next table, a sulky grandson and his gray-haired grandfather (in the O.C. this would be his father) sit. Two really cute guys (younger than my daughter) are eating breakfast and I’m trying to work up the nerve to ask them to pose with my book.  And then there’s the class of boisterous junior high girls who are a microcosm of the rest of us:  The hipsters with their cute little outfits who couldn’t be bothered to put their shoes on.  The one with her statement fluorescent pink Crocs who just wants a little attention.  And, of course, you have your standard issue ‘tween girl who’s a little too young to look that bitter.
​
   What really catches my eye is the guy who looks like the European male version of me sitting a couple tables away.   He’s got nerdy glasses, a sweater, a stack of papers, and a laptop.  Wow!   
​   So the big question…how does a gal with crappy flirting skills get this guy’s attention?!
