(and the original one in Greece); I rowed a boat down the Ganges in Varanasi, India; I played in the world's largest youth soccer tournament in Sweden; I learned to scuba dive in a 7-ml wetsuit in a quarry in Pennsylvania in November (brrr…); I flew my first glider over Colorado Springs; I jumped out of my first airplane in Georgia (state); I went to the Smetana museum in Prague; I built three chicken coops and two houses in El Salvador; I watched my little brother grow up into a wonderful person.
