Field trips are one of the best parts of going to school, and you, Addie, took all of your readers along with you. I am imagining how graceful Taramati must have looked as she danced along the tight rope between the fort and the palace to steal the heart of Abdulla Qutub Shah. Why did the dad punish his son? I can imagine you playing the dad's part with a very stern voice and a little giggle. Am I right? It seems to me that you are having way too much fun to be going to school can this be or maybe this is how school is supposed to be. Thank you for sharing your wonderful trip to Taramati Baradari palace, but be honest, there weren't really one thousand steps to the top maybe one hundred?
