Tale of Tears and Treasure - Part 2 (The Treasure)

Whereas the first part of the Tale of Tears and Treasure tells the story about how the treasure came to the island, part two is all about the treasure hunt. A Tale of Tears and Treasure - Part 2 (The Treasure)

If you would need to hide something really well, where would that be? Something valuable or dangerous maybe. Or compromising. When you would need to make sure the wrong people will never find it.

Rise and Fall of Supermoon

"Rise and Fall of Supermoon" tells the story about vanity and humbleness, pride and honor.

I got up early this morning. I had my “good” camera charged over night and I had researched that moonset at my position here at Isla Mujeres, Mexico would be at 07:07 UTC-5 or CDT. Not too bad.
