Summer of FUN, humidity and Communist Propaganda

 Ahhh, summer. Nothing like 100° days with 95% humidity. There is an abundance of places to explore, things to learn and trails to run... oh, and also time to RELAX. I taught summer school for two weeks (2 hours a day) and we have some trips planned over the next few weeks (check the blog in mid-August for those pics). Although we are all homeSICK we are making due with our choices. We love and miss every one of you though!
