Sometimes it’s not a bad thing when you don’t know people in an area as you will meet new people. I find travelling quite social.

As for the image and you’re banner, “ask and ye shall receive”.

Lots of people say nice things about America…… particularly Americans. All joking aside, I think that many people have fairly thin skins and seem to assume that if you don’t agree with everything that say then you’re some kind of enemy.

I’m sending you the bill cuz it’s all your fault.

If you hadn’t posted those shots of the landscape on the road to your in-laws and those texture ones on the camping exhibit, I might have waited. Now, I have to start lifting weights and hoping I don’t blow out my shoulders.

Ah, it’s called “senior” photography. Sigh.

Snap out of it, Pat!

You know what’s funny about this post, having nothing and everything to do with this gorgeous magical place? I’m happy to hear someone say something nice about the US.
