Kathy Hi Maria, Loved hearing about your adventure and seeing the amazing pics! Love the humor and seeing your smiling face. I made a mistake when "rating" your blog. Thought I was pushing the box to bring me to the rating area but ended up rating your blog a "3"......... should have been a "5". Sorry! Much love, Kathy
