Rahel IS a beauty!

I'm wondering now why honey is treated as contraband. What could possibly be wrong there? Smuggling? Incendiary capabilities? Terrorism based on gumming up mechanics with it? :O

I think it's mainly because it is "a liquid." Of course lots of things are but the Mek'ele area is particularly known for its honey so tourists keep trying to take it out on their carryon. It's find in checked luggage.. legally anyways, I find there's an alarming risk of its container breaking and getting all over everything, has happened to me several times ):

I'm curious too why it's contraband. I remember when my littles were really little, we were admonished not to give them honey due to the risk of botulism.

The thing with botulism is a bit silly, my understanding is it has no greater risk of containing botulism spores than anything else, but it's noteworthy because it's the only thing that honey CAN contain.

Hmmm, yes I know countries that are strict with imports of honey like Australia, but I hadn't heard of restrictions for leaving with it.

That Areal shot is gorgeous, but not as gorgeous as your lady friend! What a breath-taker!

[emo_snal]

Yeah she's gorgeous (: and the sweetest most kind-hearted person, so she's beautiful inside and out. (:

While the forbidden items is curious, it's the time difference that really had me wondering. Love the arial shot and Rahel is beautiful.

Yeah the time difference is really wacky! And not just like "this is traditionally how they told time" but like I said clocks all over are actually set that way!
