The treasures of travel are often invisible to others

March 30 photo of the day

I can’t believe March is almost done! Three more days and then…. I’ll have to find other things to write about. (Actually Karen and I have decided to extend the photo project, but I haven’t decided if I’ll continue posting … Continue reading
