Hey Grace, am a friend of Scott from Sri Lanka. Started following your adventures sometime ago ever since he sent me the link. More than the adventures themselves, it's the way you write that people get hooked on to and continue to read each entry with fascination. Your style of writing makes even the least interesting of all happenings to sound to be the contrary. Most of all, from this entry, I like the "card" or the wish you have sent to your dad! Very creative.. All the best for the rest of your journey in seek of further adventures.. Enjoy life to the fullest!
