Well, you make me smile every morning, so not a surprize you inspire such greetings in person.
What a beautiful way to be greeted! Do you know the 'story' behind the tattoos (?) on her neck? I've never seen nor heard of such ... hmmm ... and, yes, you inspire smiles here, too;-)
Zhoen, I'm glad the photos do that. Thanks :^)
Barbara, thanks :^) I don't know the significance of the tattoos but we were told when the women (and it's only the women who are extensively tattooed like this) have them done, the swelling means it's about three days before they can eat. When I get back there, I'll try to learn more.
