That's another evocative read. You capture the splendor and history of the sites you visited adroitly. I would say it's unusual for a group to bond so well like that. The tour I went on in India with about 30 or so other people was marred by many...

Yes, congratulations on completing a novel-length story. Beautifully crafted throughout. Whimsy and drama. You could definitely edit and publish this if you chose to. Paul
