Hi, Byron!
Well, I read this story with the Word Reference Dictionary open on my computer, as I always do when reading something from you. You know you have a very cultured vocabulary not normally used in the USA. It is ok since I always learn new words.
I loved this story. Actually, it was a wonderful experience for you in a foreign country. It is wonderful to know about different traditions abroad. I congratulate you on this story. Actually, I hope you write about all your trips.
Not as much as you, but I traveled a lot in Europe looking after my spiritual past, especially in Scandinavia. So, I have started writing about my trips in Medium. Let's see whether I get some income in this "side hustle".
Thank you so much for this story. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you enter the 2022 New Year attracting health, money, and love; and it remains like this for the rest of the year.
ALL the BEST. Louisa.
