Great visit to Retiro Park

Deyvis was knowledgeable and took time to answer everyone’s questions. But he was also very thoughtful in ensuring he reached out to people who were running last to ensure they were coming for the tour. Having experienced the opposite the day before, I was very impressed by this young man. Absolutely enjoyed his attitude and enthusiasm. Thank you Deyvis.
