come away with me

Summertime is always ripe with adventure for one person or another. This summer is proving to be very quiet for me, and waves of nostalgia for past places I've visited tend to come rushing in every time I check facebook and someone has posted photos from a recent trip. I figure if I can't actually go to these places this year, or probably some of them ever again, at least I can share a miniscule piece of their beauty here. So in no particular order...

mmm, Jamaica. Who doesn't wish they could go back on their honeymoon??

Venice, Italy

Oxford, England

the Huruma slum in Nairobi, Kenya.
I'd give most anything to be back with those kids again.

Thankfully, I WILL be going there in 2 weeks!
