Cynthia was incredibly helpful in offering suggestions on what to see, where to eat, and how to avoid the heaviest traffic. She went above and beyond to help us settle in: sharing one of her sweaters with my mom with the unexpected cold weather, making a special trip to the store when she heard I like cream in my coffee, mailing me my sweater when I forgot it at her home, etc. I highly recommend staying with Cynthia if you ever have the chance. And very little can beat falling asleep to the rhythm of crashing waves each night! (and waking up to the view of dolphins in the morning)
