Awesome!!! Hi Bill! long time without news from you. How are you these days? Amazing places you used to visit! This year I went to Shanghai, Beijing, Taipei, Hong Kong and Barcelona. Half the trip for business and half for fun. Very nice places and culture, I hope this year can go again there on May. Best wishes for this new year!.

The Nikon 300 used in the previous blog went for a terminal salt water dip, luckily I had the W60 as a backup.
