WONDERING THE EARTH

wondering (adj) – expressing admiration or amazement; marveling.

I travel a lot and whether for business or pleasure I like to explore local customs (mainly eat and drink like the local folk). Its amazing to me that a plane ride or even a few hours in a car can land you in a completely different world. Here are some of my jaunts outside the Durham, NC Area:
