I. Had. An. Amazing. Night. Besides the trepidation and nervousness that was surging through my veins all night, it was one of my favourite gigs. The night was a reassurance of why I do what I do and why I go through the ups and downs. I just let myself go. Switchblade Suzie was on […]

Morning view from my hotel room. Absolutely stunning. I had to take another photo before we went into the hot springs again for our morning shower. Then we had breakfast and headed off to go to Jozan. On the way we stopped by a observatory area where we were once again eclipsed by the cerulean […]
