As a small-city boy, traveling to New York City seemed like it would be scary or stressful. Having a wonderful host such as Hugo and his wonderful mother made the short weekend I spent in the big city quite a welcoming experience. The room was nice and well-dressed. It was very clean and they had helpful guides to the city left in there for the guest's use. I was only there very late in the evening and left very early each morning. Even though I was only there for a few hours each night, I felt very welcome. The turtles made great friends as well. :)
