The Sunshine State

Now that I'm back from Europe...it seems kind of sad to stop blogging since I'm still traveling all over the place. So I've decided to continue my blog..though the adventures will be "all over the world" (well this year...mostly in the USA).

Recently I went to Miami Florida for 1 week to work as a counselor for the UOTS Children's Cancer camp (in collaboration with the Miami's Children Hospital). What an amazing trip. I spent the week working with fellow dukies in Miami, taking care of 30+ children (all with cancer)... we went to Universal Orlando (both parks), swimming with dolphins, pool party in the Keys, campfire, bowling, disco cruise...etc etc etc. Of course the actvities were amazing, but getting to know the kids and realizing how we shouldn't take the little things for granted...that made the whole trip totally worthwhile. (well and seeing my dukies !!!! )

While I can't put any pictures of the campers online, here are some photos of me and maybe a few dukies throughout the course of the week. Enjoy!

Delft Holland

My final stop before heading back to the US was Delft Holland. I spent about 3 days there visiting friends for one last time and touring a little bit more of Delft. Here are some pictures:
