Excellent
I tried writing earlier but while trying to spell check a word I think I lost my comment so please excuse any and all grammar/spelling errors. I just wanted to thank you for the excellent writing and visual diary you are sharing with us. As for me, I know it is vital that I have the opportunity to vicariously enjoy your travels especially since reality doesn't allow me the pleasure. Your photos and commentaries are excellent. Keep them coming! Sharon
