Personal touch

We enjoyed Richard’s personal insights into the neighborhood! He seemed to know and be well liked by everyone in the places we visited and that added a nice touch. He was also a great listener and seemed really intent on our enjoyment of the experience. Finally, it was fun to try wide variety of local seafood dishes. Especially nice for getting oriented on our first day in town.
