Dear Natalie,<\/p>\n
I worked at Navarra restaurant for close to two years and had the pleasure of serving you and your family many times.<\/p>\n
I am currently traveling and I have been spending time in India and Nepal. I have attached a picture I took in Lukla, Nepal, the main starting point of the Mount Everest Base Camp hike.<\/p>\n
I walked into a small guesthouse to look for a book exchange and there on the wall was a large 3 by 5 foot poster of your Red and White and Drunk all over. I have no idea if you had anything to do with putting it there, but I thought you might enjoy the picture and knowing that you have spread half way around the world, up to 2,860 metres and to a village accessible only by foot or plane.<\/p>\n
I hope that all is well with you and your family.<\/p>\n
Take care,
\nHannah<\/p>\n

Who woulda thunk it? I wonder if Amazon delivers there …<\/p>\n

Sometimes, I get the most amazing e-mails … people who’ve been out at sea for months and have read my book, others who decided to changed careers as a result. I’ve always thought of Red, White and Drunk All Over as a light-hearted, diverting read, but these human stories touch me.
