I was ecstatic when she offered to show us around. We were in awe the entire stay here, looking at every little bit of details - from the church pews to the ramps. Our room was amazing, such a comfortable and clean bed. The energy here was so calming. It felt like coming home and going to my room. Next time we travel up...
