Ahhhhh Summer!
July is one for the books, my friends! Aside from some really awesome music festivals, I had the privelege of spending the last few weeks in Greece with some friends. I can barely put into words how wonderful this trip was and how refreshing it has been to escape the day-to-day and hit the reset button on life. Most of all, I was reminded of how big the world is and how small I am.
 
One of the highlights for me was attending the Watoto Pan Afrikan Festival, visiting the Acropolis, long conversations with strangers who became friends, and the food! Live music venues were especially hard to come by, but street music was everywhere and so top notch! When I catch up with myself, I will upload and share the photos and videos I captured!
