It is very well preserved, I think that even though it is not your favorite destination, you are making an effort to document the environment well for anyone interested. When you travel in a group, there is always a different view of things, there are others who notice details that we overlook, it's a different experience whenever you go with someone else.
Great to save the food photos for last hahahaha it may not have been anything out of the ordinary, but the photos look delicious!
