We hiked by a mountain stream, visited a Buddhist temple (where we wrote out our dreams for the upcoming g celebration), and hiked to the peak of the mountain where we enjoyed an amazing lunch Jimmy had brought for us. The conversation was great and Jimmy made sure we had water and rest breaks. We highly recommend Jimmy!”
