Now that we’ve been living in the States for a while, it seemed timely to look back through this year’s photo archive and post a few random photos. I’ll start with some transportation pictures, like this very small car:a stroller-bike:
an overloaded e-bike:

Some things that we miss include walking down old flowery streets:
different options at Pizza Hut:

sometimes accompanied by a “garden cottage”:
and chickens roaming alongside the highway:
