New Additions to the Site – Japan and South Korea Adventures

Added Photos of Some of our Adventures in Japan and South Korea

In April we took a 16-day trip to Japan and South Korea - and I’ve finally had time to catch up, review, edit and post some of the 2,500+ photos that I took during the trip.
