Mayan Ruins, How Often We Think of Rome
This month, I took a trip to Central America to see Mayan ruins, learn about sacrificial ball games, and eat some delicious food. I was not disappointed on any of these counts, despite a hurricane breathing down my neck. My … Continue reading

Return to Greece
This month my friends and I visited Greece–instead of a mainland journey as I’ve previously taken, we took an odyssey to the islands. As it turns out, our voyage was in the midst of a heat wave that has since … Continue reading
