The United States of America!!
Before we left, I told the kids that when we returned they would literally want to kiss the ground in the wonderful USA. They were skeptical then — but not any more. We are back in the land of drinkable water, clean streets, traffic laws, and unending almost unimaginable choices – so many kinds of… Continue reading The United States of America!!

We saw Symphony No. 5, by Dmitri Shostakovich.… Continue reading Florida Day Three

Horrible radio stations 5. The Westboro Baptist Church 6. AT&T censoring the internet so you can’t… Continue reading Kansas
La Junta, Colorado, United States — Ryan
We stayed in Denver over Halloween with my Aunt and Uncle in Aurora. I got some work done on my website, there’s now a ‘Photography’ tab at the top.
