forgot

So I totally forgot about this blog, but today as I was driving along I was inspired to write again. I was freezing my butt off doing research, and I began to think of all the places I've gone in the past 6 years: the Blue Ridge, Mount Rogers, the south of France, Portugal, Utah, Japan, California, Ethiopia, Kenya, etc. Most of the traveling I have done in my lifetime has occurred since senior year of college. While I realize that your twenties is the time for adventure and travel and "not being tied down" sometimes I feel particularly gypsy-esque. I want to record these adventures better than I have, and record the adventures to come as well. If I remember here I will post my photos from past travels and in the future, adventures. In the mean time, here is a wrap up of some of last year's adventures.

There were these guys waiting to climb this route as Zach as doing his accent. They kept going, "yeah, yeah that's how it's done." to one another.
