To finish the story: I wasn't home but had my phone with me and all the pdfs on it, I saw the message on time, send the pdf by email -it was a bit complicated to find Therese email, but I finally managed to get it. In the meantime, her companion, Bruce-the-Bunny, had left me a message on Reddit where he had first read about the tour, and he then left me the following message on Reddit after they got the pdf: "I found the PDF. Thank you! We weren’t able to complete the entire tour, so will come back to complete it. The murals are awesome and the museum was well worth the hour and a half that we spent there. Thank you for the detailed, easy to follow plan."
