    Exploring Ezcaray, Spain

    04/29/2016 - By 

    The whimsical trees dancing alongside the buildings and cobblestoned streets are plucked straight from the pages of a storybook. The stone-faced buildings with wooden facades and flower-potted balconies make it feel like the town's frozen in time, unstirred by the rest of the world.

    It’s finally December and with the holidays comes the never-ending reunions like family reunions and running into old acquaintances when visiting your hometown. Actually, it all starts with National High School Reunion Day aka Thanksgiving Eve, when every bar becomes an annual high school reunion. For those that took part in the ‘festivities’ last week, you probably know what I’m talking about—it means running into people you haven’t seen in forever and getting asked the same question on repeat.
