26 September-2 October: North by Pacific Northwest

27 July-6 August: Sox in the City
Whoa, Ok so where did the time go?? We have been very lax and lazy about our blogs since leaving the European continent. One might say getting into the US Spirit 😉 Since arriving on the American continent Duncan and I have been focusing on the New England area with a little of South Eastern […]
