“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.” I love to travel near and far. This is where I will share my travel experiences with you. Of course, I hope you will share your travel experiences with me as well. How else will I know where to go next?
You knew it was coming! After a week in Mexico, I’m going to inundate you with photos. After all, a photo is worth a thousand words, right? And there is no way to put into words all of the things I am grateful for this month. My heart is full. From the first cup of … [Read more…]
