Now I'm off to the races, laces
Leather on my waist is tight and I am fallin' down
I can see your face is shameless, Cipriani's basement
Love you but I'm going down
God I'm so crazy, baby, I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving
I'm your little harlot, starlet, Queen of Coney Island
Raising hell all over town
Sorry 'bout it
-Lana Del Rey
It was a weekend of mountains, rivers, hot tubs, birthdays, solo cups, tears of laughter, wine tasting, wizard sticks, slapping bags, trollies, icings, 90s dance parties, so much delicious food, games, doggies, stair pull-ups, and #speakyourtruth. Most importantly, it was a weekend where new and old friends came together and remembered how incredibly fortunate we are to be in one another's lives. These people are my family and will be in my heart forever. Leaving Georgia will be bittersweet and knowing how much I will miss my friends makes it that much harder. But I know it is not really goodbye. I will forever be thankful for being a part of such a close group of amazing people.
Thanks to everyone who commandeered my camera - you captured so many great moments!
“Accept that cars aren’t necessary and that some meals take hours, that we can now fly to space, that there’s nothing wrong with crashing on couches if you’re on an adventure, that three outfits are enough, that sunrises are free, that the first time you see Machu Picchu it will break your heart, that being alone in a country with no money and no return ticket will teach you more about yourself than any therapist ever could.” - Aric S. Queen
The time we spent on the pacific coast of Peru was renewing and energizing. After an overnight flight and a long van ride from Lima to Paracas, the little beach town was what we needed to feel refreshed. Despite the fishy smell constantly wafting from the ocean, you couldn't help but relax amidst the warm air, calm water, and friendly locals.
We enjoyed fresh ceviche on a rooftop patio at Restaurant Paracas, delicious pizza at a quirky place called Misk'i, and of course lots of lots of cusquenas and pisco sours.
One of the highlight of our time in this region was a trip out to the sand dunes near Ica. After a buggy ride across the dunes that was way better than a roller coaster, we sand boarded down the slopes. The views were breathtaking!
