This week with you on your beautiful barge has provided us with memories that will
be in our minds and our hearts for the rest of our lives.
Our agent had told us it would be a very special experience and that we would be very satisfied
with our choice.But we could not have imagined how truly remarkable and wonderful absolutely everything and very experience
has been.
The beauty and the comfort of ESPERANCE as our home for a week ; it always brought
a smile to our faces to see it as we returned from a long walk,a bike ride,or a tour in your vehicle.
The incredible food prepared by the chef ; its taste, its artistic presentation, and the
quiet joy on the chef's face as we raved about each meal.
The special sights and places you took us, each day a total surprise, filled with history
of many ages and cultures and civilizations; a richness we do not have the opportunity to experience in our country. On the
2 nd day we could pick a "favorite" place or experience, but by the end of our cruise, it is impossible to single out one
or two or three "most favorite" memories. it is all one beautiful impressionistic piece of art, with each color and image
playing its part in a treasured painting.
But the most appreciated of all is the care you each took to make sure every moment
was perfect, every memory was lasting, every need was anticipated and met with professionalism and human caring. Your sense
of humor accepted, matched and encouraged ours; You took us for who we are, and made us better and happier. You became not
just our hosts, but our friends. That is the most treasured gift we take with us.
The vacation of a lifetime...
