Outtakes and Musings from El Salvadorian Adventure

Its hard to believe I was looking out at the Pacific Ocean while relaxing in a hammock just a few short days ago. I made it home to North Carolina feeling a little more rested and rejuvenated, although I must admit, I was not ready to come back. A week isn’t enough time to truly [...]

Feliz Navidad! Wishing Everyone a Very Merry Christmas!
