a month in the US

sh — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 18:52:02 +0000

One of the many reasons why I haven’t been around these parts much lately is the fact that I was recently in the US for a month. While there, I was quite busy. I suppose I’m still quite busy, but I’m taking a moment (after an 8-hour day in the office (no really)) to write an update here. Even if I didn’t post to my blog while in the US, I did manage to take some pictures. I present some of them them now in chronological order and without comment. If you have questions, the comments section below is your friend.

man, ain’t nothin’ going on here . . .

You must forgive me. I’m waking up slowly from a rather long sleep.
