It sounded like a great year for you. Mykonos was just on TV here in Japan last night. It's a show about Japanese carpenters that go all over the world and help repair and upgrade wooden structures.
As for your USA trip, you really did get to see and experience an amazing area savaged by glacial & geologic forces. Driving on those lonely highways is so fun sometimes. You just take in the landscape and think about things, like the treasures hidden away for me to go dig up!
Here's to a wonderful and hopefully peaceful 2025! Happy New Year!
I can imagine by you driving around in those remote places in the middle of nowhere actually. Our whole American trip was such an eye opener, and the best thing was that the ten of us got through 20 days squabble free😀
Happy 2025 to you as well, I hope you have a lovely celebration. Are you back in Japan now?
Wow, 20 days without squabbling. Now that is an achievement!
Ya, been back since mid November. Have to be back in the States next month for the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show, massive event. Equal to Germany's Munich show. Plus, those deserts still have some gems waiting to be be dug! God the 11hr flights are getting to me though.... 🍻
