Clapping in Chichen Itza and Sinking in Cuzama!

The City That Never Sleeps & The Boardwalk Empire

A visit to the King’s house and rockin’ it in Nashville, Tennessee.

Houston we have a problem… we went to New Orleans

Monument Valley, Canyon de Chelly, The Carlsbad Caverns & a hot tub in the desert

A very very Grand Canyon
