This summer I had the opportunity to engage in an activity which is an absolutely, positively indispensible part of the college experience. No, I’m not talking about Spring Break.

That’s right. And for the sake of those of you who do not live here, here is a small sampling of what we have been looking at the last few weeks. (Technically, this is not a travel post since I did not have to travel anywhere to take these pictures. But I am placing it [...]
