ViaSo, bring it home Lemmy!

On this trip we learnedThat everyone is a little bit punk.

This week we wanted to see if we could get from Tay Tay to Lemmy and, after a number of false starts, we did. We didn't expect to hit quite so many punk rockers on the way, but we're sure glad that we did. We might even make a mixtape out of it...

We're so pretty, oh so pretty.
