Safe & fun with everything I needed and more,from a comfortable bed in a stunning room; to awesome coffee; to an amazing old school warm shower, in an absolutely picturesque environment with laughter and conversation as a stunning extra. May you continue to smile, love, grow and be rewarded, forever...
