Margaret is one of the kindest, warmest, liveliest, optimistic, well-traveled and well-read person we've ever met. Not only she helped us settle in Palo Alto by providing very useful information, she went out of her way to make sure that we were comfortable and had the best experience possible. She educated us about many aspects of American/Californian society. She is the best guide there is in Palo Alto, and is always eager to help whenever she can. We learnt a lot from her in many ways - the interesting places to visit and how to live a fulfilling life. Our four month stay will be forever etched in our memories.
