Thanks for the support. These photos were courtesy of google.
Thanks, we loved reading this. We learned new things.
You are welcome, I may change this around next time.
Interesting way of listing facts about a country. All the facts were strange to me especially the Great Canyon. I thought it was devoid of any human inhabitant.
I thought the same. Thanks for reading. I will try to change the format next time to make it easier to read.
