so good to read you jbr katrina- I could picture where you had been and it was lovely to hear an update on the feathers! When we left about 6 weeks ago feathers were being collected but the locals were muttering about how 'dieing' feathers would make it a quicker process!
Your tale of being caught in Sideman rings bells too- not having your own transport can be a hassle at times, leaves you at the mercy of others. I do drive myself now , not for this reason alone but it doesmean that you can move on if you want to.
glad you had such a great trip-sure that your kids will remember it for many years to come.
