ResenärIt’s beautiful isn’t it. Lombard St in San Francisco is number 2 apparently
ResenärDefinitely. It’s funny I wasn’t expecting to see so much old stuff in the states like you do in Europe. But in many places, everywhere you turned is the most incredible historic architecture. There is just so much to see and do in the states that sometimes I feel like doing backflips of excitement LOL
ResenärThat is brilliant and it means you will remember it fondly forever. And! Seeing as you are doing this blog you’ll be able to have a book 📕 made with all the memories to look at and share easily 🥰🥰🥰👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
ResenärYep - main reason using Find Penguins and not just fb is the book at the end. Thanks again for the recommendation x
