Eleanor was such an amazing host. As others said we left making a new friend. She was so helpful with tips to make our trip enjoyable and really knew what areas and events would make our trip most memorable. We loved the countryside where her home was located, and spending time with the dogs, cat, chicken and horses. Our evenings were topped off with the flowing of wine and conversation, and she even made us homemade stew! We could not have asked for more, and hope that she will visit us in California one day.
