Besides this we really knew nothing of the country, but then again just the fact that... Read Full Entry

Glad to see that you are starting to catch up...
I enjoyed reading your "book!" At 16,600 words you might want to consider breaking it down into several blogs...one for each city or region...makes the reading easier!
