So we arrived in Alma during one of the worse wind storms of the year. The ocean was angry - but so neat to see the waves surging on the shore. I messaged ahead and learned from Chelsea that they had no power but a generator. Thankfully! (and grateful she replied quickly otherwise we would have had to turn around and head back home). She also prepared us for potentially having no food since restaurants were closed (no power) so we stopped on our way to stock up. Our first night could have been very uncomfortable, to say the least, had she not been so great at communicating and anticipating our needs. We ended up needing a bit more help with the heat/power the next morning and she was so quick to help. What a wonderful host.
The weekend went on to be beautiful. We had a wonderful day at Hopewell Rocks and wrapped it up with beer at the Holy Whale and a fire on the beach (Chelsea's suggestion!). She really is a superhost :)
