I was away when this came. I was in Singapore, Saigon and Geoje (Koje) Island Korea, so just saw these today, Sat., June 22, 2013. What a trip down Memory Lane and how interesting to see what you photographed and I didn’t, who you photographed and I had not, and your angles on shots vs. the ones I took. It was great! I shall save this if I can. It is wonderful to see other people’s version of the same few days. You’ll hear from me when I have a minute as I want to know more about WordPress.com as my guru recently set me up with a Blog and I don’t like it. It is FB all over again and I was disappointed with the rules, the format etc. It was intrusive. I’m looking for something very personal and private. Send me an e-mail with your telephone number and I will SKYPE you and Heath as I have lots of questions.
