    I sincerely congratulate you for almost the entire trip. I say this because the visit to Casa Blanca LAC was unpleasant due to the despotic and rude treatment: 1) they were rounding us up while they were doing the video presentation and tasting of products; 2) they kept us for a long time, without giving us the cheese, four people who had already paid, and I had to complain and get angry so that they would finally deign to serve us. I suggest that they look for another collaborator who knows how to serve the customer for this.
