Ms. Gastelu describes "Barefoot" to mean an understanding where there once was none. She said, "A journey to any other country is magical but to pluck and process your own tea and feed an elephant in the wild or to eat fruit that is so fresh that nothing could ever compare to the experience ever again . . . this to me was a journey of fulfillment, to experience one of the most beautiful places on this earth along with the kindest, most warm hearted people I have ever met. Barefoot or inexperienced no longer; an understanding has taken place." Come along for the journey. Owners of this book will experience Sri Lanka and the magical enchantment that embodies the Ceylon tea industry.
