Very interesting....

I've been to Africa!!!

Though there are so many cultures there that to lump them all together hardly seems fair...

Why Bath, England? Do you have relatives there???

Bath is just a place I visited about 12 years ago when I was living in London... I felt immediately at home. It was a bit of an out of body experience... I felt like I had lived there once before... a sense of deja vu. I've never had that feeling anywhere else. Ever.
