Recently, I've been going threw the mass amount of photos that I have stored on my external hard drive. That's right, I got heaps and heaps to go threw, not kidding on that one bit. Weeding out the good from the bad these days, so to speak. I couldn't help but found myself crying at times and at others laughing like crazy on my travel adventures, oh don't I have them. I have forgotten about some until I looked at an old photo to spark the memories, whether it was that Christmas holiday in Australia or Vietnam, those numerous outings in Shimane-ken, walking on the Great Wall, setting up for a beach barbeque in Baja, watching whales in Alaska, sailing across the Equator experiencing winter & summer all in one day and to go "templing "in Angkor Watt just to name a few. Here's just a few photos out of the many I have.
