Want to do something different? Join the Happy Stone initiative! The idea is to decorate stones in a fun and beautiful way and leave them for other people to find. When you come across a happy stone, you can admire and leave it or take it and give it a new place. The goal is to let the stones travel to different places to make new people happy.
