Some of you know I went on a trip to the NE of the USA. I stayed at one of your houses and met two mafia members who were super welcoming and great. This trip was about a bit of work while meeting new people, seeing new things, learning new things, and gaining more appreciation to what I have today. I took pics so you can see what I saw through my eyes...I did colour correct in Lightroom to what I remembered seeing. So here are some of my pics!
