Stuff That Made Us Sweat
Now that our year of overseas adventures is drawing to a conclusion, we thought
we would take time to reflect on some of our interesting experiences and memories. We have made a goal this month to update our blog daily with these reflective lists, along with a peppering of our normal blog entries.
