We were so busy yesterday that I totally forgot to post about the Lonely Planet travel journal winner. gah
Congratulations Estan! Breaking that sacred ritual made you a winner. As the judges and I agree, it’s not a travel story unless you commit a cultural faux pax 
A big thanks to Shubert, Karla and Dyanie for sharing their stories. And for those of you who just watched the deadline go by… maybe next time? 
Oh by the way, Merry Christmas!

She also included a beautiful postcard of four landmarks of Melbourne, Australia. Nina, again, thank you very much for the opportunity of winning as well as picking my entry. [...]
