Woke up to a sound of a honking horn while driving through the dark raining streets of New York, looking for my airBnB. All the coffee in the world couldn’t keep me awake but alas! Found the majestic Apt. Soon as I got out I smelled the aroma of relief. A castle of rest lay before me, a promised land that would carry my unrested soul through the rest of my journey. I was greeted at the front door by a All Knowing soul, Maria. She gave me delightful tour with an accent that took me away to a different time period... I knew my time traveling journey had begun. Soon as the tour was over I heard big massive footsteps followed by a large shadow of a man, his shadow darkened the house. It was Sir Esteban. At first I shook with fear but then he spoke... I recognized the voice, it was an Angels voice and it had disarmed my fears. He gave me keys and told me the 10 commandments that should be obeyed in this kingdom of heaven. I gladly obeyed.
I went to sleep and the bed soaked up my restless soul and re energized it for the morning. Breakfast was ready. I was served a fine hearty breakfast by chef Esteban , While Maria told old war stories and how she bonded with the cat that tried to kill her.
I can go on and on about my journey but some adventures should be kept private. There was many twists and turns, many revelations , Squirrel Attacks, and many unanswered questions like “who really was Maria?”
... I don’t know how it all ends but I am glad for the experience.
