The trip had been so different from anything I had ever known and now it was almost time to leave this bright noisy city.

He took me to DisneySea where the park looked like a beautiful dream with water everywhere and tall towers and ships that looked like they came from stories.

Mateo took my hand and we walked through the park together.
• “Let us ride everything today,” he said with a big smile. “No holding back.”
