Way cool. It must be great to do something like that. I bet he's seen a lot of great things.
Hi Laurann!
Wouldn't it what! He certainly has seen lots of things, and been to places most Westerners wouldn't dare go =)
Very unique houses indeed!! LOL re the red rocket - have to have proof he was there :))
