It was like being welcomed by an old friend. Which was nice since I arrived in the dark, in a rain storm and before a hurricane. The place was small, private, protected. Serene. The shower was OUTSTANDING. The garden lush. It was perfect for one and safe for a woman on her own. When my plans changed and changed, Marie was flexible and kind. I wasn't on vacation but I plan to return to just BE and Marie's will be where I go.
