Heading Out For A New England/Canada Tour

            This shot, taken with a box camera in 1965, was so blurry it was unusable, which is a shame because here Sammy and I are starting out on a 1,700-mile, 10-day trip through five New England States and Nova Scotia on a little 160cc Vespa scooter; and as nutty as it sounds, it was probably our best vacation ever.

I recently came across this image while I was rummaging through my Oldies and decided I'd try artsifying it in Topaz Studio to see if I could make it Flickr-worthy.  For better or for worse, this is the result.

Taken in: United States / Massachusetts / Richmond / Richmond (show map)

Taken on: January 1, 1965
