What modest requests, Carl. You do make it easy on the souvenir budget. Too bad your friend had trouble with the sand…the Garden of Gethsemane leaf is a delight.

What a good friend! I’m glad customs decided to ‘leaf’ him alone the second time around 🙂 (I’m sure it wasn’t funny going through it, but I had to laugh at trying to get the sand through customs!)

The leaf is cool. Sorry Craig had such a hard time with the white sand.
My daughter tried to bring back flower seeds for a friend that she had purchased from a gift shop in Claude Monet’s garden in Giverny, France. They were confiscated by customs and she was devastated. 😦
