Travel blogs require flowery words and grand descriptions of places traveled. I have no such pretensions. Any writing skill in me has atrophied and left me after multiple years of terse and sometimes efficient writing for business email. As you read my future work on this blog, please feel free to submit improved sentences in the comments.
At the end of the year, maybe I’ll be a better writer.

This is a great demonstration of the GoPro’s wide angle lens. I don’t remember what this monument was, but it is at the convent as well.
Above: a few more photos. If you click them, they’ll get bigger, and you can read clever and enlightening captions.
