England

Visiting Home

Going home is never as interesting as going to another country. I tried to write something for this, but just couldn't get excited enough to do the whole commentary of what, to me, is incredibly mundane. Instead, here are some pictures and captions from my visit to my hometown. Perhaps you can construct your own interesting tales of what I got up to.....
