Expansive and elegant, there was a lot to discover. Once, she remembers, she even got lost in a stairwell. She had to go all the way to the basement before she could get out. As she wandered to discover every nook and cranny, she would imagine herself as an adult, working in a hotel and wearing a classy suit.
