Entering their home, and meeting Susie and Marcelo, there was an immediate sense of ease and peace. I felt at home - and very welcome - right away, and this just kept on getting better, the longer I stayed with them. The chickens are a hoot, and would come & keep me company in the yard. Being outside at this place was a special oasis in the busy city. Some moments I must have seen about 10 bird species all at once. These two people are a wealth of information, fun to talk to, and they kept me supplied with as many interesting books as I could manage to read. By the time I left, it all felt more like I stayed with very good friends. In short, this was quite an awesome find, and I’m sure I will be back.
