The Travels of Anadrasata Nearabhigan: Day 46

Here we are on Day 46 of Anadrasata's travels.  There is a city tour and an At Home, and it is not always easy being in a country that is not your own.

Honestly, I think I have made many, many mistakes with the longer portions of the Confederation's calendar system - possibly to the point where it is completely borked.  On the other hand, it seems to work for the window of time that contains this story.  Consequently, I think that if I don't poke at it too hard, I won't have to try to fix my errors ad redate things, etc.  On the other hand, as this is a work of fantasy fiction, I could come up with an in universe explanation for the discrepancies.  At this point I can live with the situation.

This piece runs to 3,357 words, and I hope that you enjoy it.
