Things I'll miss, parte dos.

Woke up this morning to yet another beautiful day. Summer literally waited until the final countdown to show up; three days until I leave for D.C., five days until I'm in Peru. When I woke up to sunshine and a warm breeze I was reminded of Summers-past, and as I've already said, I'm really going to miss summer. Camping, hiking, river trips, swimming (well, more like standing in freezing river water), barbecues, time with friends, laying in the grass listening to jazz music in the park...all the things about summer that make it magical and my favorite time of year. So, since I won't have a summer this year, here's a "remembrance to summer." I'm sorry if you're picture didn't make it in, because I have spent so much time with so many different people during summer, and I love all of you!
