2023 Instagram Galleries

I started posting galleries of 10 photos each in 2020 most under the title of “West Coast on the East Coast” reflecting the relative openness of Florida while most of the world was shut down to travel.

This year the world got back to some travel normalcy and I posted several from a trip  across India and to UK/Ireland/Germany/France – several by rail. I also traveled for the first time to 4 US states – Maine, Vermont, Nebraska and Iowa. I can now say I have been to all 50 US states. Several other galleries come from trips to California, New York and Texas, a FL hurricane and baseball games and continued Florida travel.

A new Tucson Hybrid, especially all the “smart” safety and convenience features, filled several galleries

All of them continue the tradition of 10 photos each
