Tortilla Trip

Dearest Rachel – Despite the fact that I didn’t have any assigned tasks on Thursday, I wound up with a busier day I could be reasonably afforded time to write about yesterday. So here we are, preparing to fly out later this morning than we would usually have to commute to the Just One campus,Continue reading “Tortilla Trip”

El Mismo, Pero No
