Breakfast with family stay. After breakfast we will spend some time in Muraleando – a neighborhood
that started a community clean up activity and it turned into a mural art project that beautified their
neighborhood. They converted the water tower to a mixed use art studio/amphitheater and artists
sell their art for profit as well as give back a portion to the community project. It has been a place
