Thank you Gabrielle. Unfortunately the luck has not been with me for most of the trip. As I am down to my last three weeks, hopefully things will clear up more. :)

Thank you Marshall. Overall has been a poor trip with much cloudiness and rain. But I will be home in less than two weeks and happy for it! :)
