We needed a place to rest, charged our phones and tethered them to the internet before heading to the city after driving all night. I figured calling Manuel to request whether he can allow us in his place way earlier than expected. He had acquiesced with enthusiasm and provided me with his contact there even though it's very early in the morning. I didn't have to knock on Dulce's door since she was already awaiting for our arrival. She reminded me of my grandmother who's very sweet and provided us with everything we needed so this made our trip very pleasant and homey.
