Perfect start to a great weekend!

JF was incredibly knowledgeable and funny. I loved how he showed us videos of the spaces we were visiting at different times of the year. The bagel was a great treat - and the bike ride itself was invigorating but not difficult. Really a super way to kick off our visit - it helped us get oriented in a new city.
