Snapshots Of A Weekend
This past weekend was a whirlwind of activity and friends, filled with non-stop hilarity, entertaining dogs, tree climbing (seriously), afternoon cocktails, and photographic traipsing. In short, it was amazing.

6: Times I was asked to take pictures for total strangers.
2: Cups of mineral water I drank directly from a spring in the ground (in Osaek).
