This Week in Pictures
Here’s a few photos from this week! Around Freiburg…. And one of my favorite things about an average week — gelato!

But this real Greece, this true Greece of today? It is gritty. The people, with genealogies old as the land itself, have that intrepid attitude, spirited and

Athens, GA
Got to stay with some old buds at UGA. : ) Loved their unique college town vibe — tables spilling out across sidewalks, eclectic shops brimmin’ with knick-knacks and UGA love, cheers echoing through the open doors of gathering places as Spain wins the World Cup. It was rad.
