I’m going to be on a hiatus for about six months or so, as I really just need to focus on my job and my health right now. So instead of posting my thoughts on museums visited or books and articles read, I will occasionally post a list of places I want to visit and items to read later. (If you have any recommendations, leave a comment!)
Number one upcoming place to visit:
National Book Festival on Saturday, August 31, 2019 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center!
