Happy New Year!

Sydney's NYE banners!

I wonder how many of these hopes and dreams from the people of West Concord, MA, USA, came true for them in 2013? I used to pass this sign every day I was staying there last January.

Happy New Year!

Travelling on - to Concord

Farewell to Chicago - the view from Lynn & Dick's condominium!

Today, it was time to move on to my next destination: Boston, MA, where I braved the wonders of the rail network to arrive in West Concord, at the home of my penpals, the Ljutich family. Above are examples of the kitchen trim that Carolyn and her son, Ian, added to the kitchen when he was just a young boy.

Carolyn was amused by how often I was engaged with technology.

There was much negotiation between Ian and myself over whose turn it was to use the Internet connection.

Packed to the Rafters!

And a leafy Concord street packed with filming gear!


Who ya gonna call? Dave Rafter!
