Thanks fellas - I really do appreciate your nice comments. I dunno about being a wordsmith .. its just a random assortment of words that falls out my head when I recall the memories of a trip. This was an unusual one for me. A quickie for a change. And the first time I didn't take a camera with me, such is the power of an IPhone11 I do have lightroom on the phone too and that helps a lot. A lot of the pleasure from these trips comes from taking pictures. Brian will tell you how fucked off and upset I can get if I have a bad photo day! I do enjoy the writing too and doing it sort of extends the trip feeling for me when I get back .. it keeps the dark demons away
