And Edy highlighted every facet of its beauty. He is a natural storyteller and the passion he has for his home is contagious. I knew we would tour amazing historical sites and trek 3 days in the mountains, however, I did not anticipate just how much I would learn and the respect I would gain for these sacred places. Edy was steadfast for our safety and laughed with us like we'd always known each other.
