Summary: Carolyn was great and we were thankful that she was able to fill in for her sick colleague. Only suggestion to make the experience better would be for Carolyn to use a microphone and speaker as she had to contend with high winds and also when she turned her head to emphasize her talking points. We have done tours with the speaker using microphones and it certainly enhances the experience as this way we don’t miss out on any of the interesting facts that are shared.
