Hi Page! If I remember my youth correctly, displaying my affection for someone in front of my parents was "uncool" also. I'm sure you will find that out in a few years from the parent side of things.
OMG! You win @Alexmugs! Thanks for the compliment, but I didn't think to look at Storyverse for clues. That's brilliant! Of course, @kbois will claim this is fake news and say that this was written by @astone2292, even if we all know it fits all the clues she has already left us.

My turn to give out the award! Great work @spyke, this one's for you!
(Sorry it took a while, but shipping from the other side of the planet takes time.)
One comment about food. Unless you go to a restaurant and have the same cook, the same dish is anywhere from nearly the same to outrageously different. I once went to a store here in Chiang Mai about the size of a supermarket in the USA that featured twenty to thirty different kinds of each type of sauce usually used in Thai cooking. Most of the time families here make their own unique sauces and dishes. Crazy, but I love it...well most of the time. Papaya salad made from shrimp paste gags me.
There are some similarities to predynastic Egyptian petroglyphs, as well as some theories of ancient immigration that suggest a connection, but no proof to date.
I do understand what you are saying Justin, and respect that you want to follow GA's standards. I am only on chapter 3, and so far with the unique universe you have created, I have not found anything I personally object to reading. If I do, I will stop reading. I am still impressed with the original story and having fun with all the differences between it and this story.
I've just started reading it, Chris. Let's just say it's a different book, and the comments here would be quite different if the original story was posted here. I think it would be amusing if Justin posted the original after he finishes posting the entire rewrite here.
It will if I ever return to the States. The furthest south I got was Moab, UT. I think my old bones will have to forego extensive hiking and camping nowadays. It is a pleasant thought, however.
You remembered correctly. I do love to cook, but also enjoy eating something new like dishes that are related to different cultures. The petroglyphs were amazing in their detail and complexity compared to many of the other petroglyphs throughout the western states. Born and raised in Oregon, one of the things I loved to do was camp and explore throughout the western states. This chapter brought up wonderful memories of my younger years. Thanks, Bill!
There were many interesting places on their weekend trip that I would love to see. I did check the petroglyphs and chapel out on the net and was amazed by both. The food also was deliciously described and now I'm hungry. Looking forward to the next transition.
