Visiting Family and Pilgrimage to Zarvanitsya!
What an incredible weekend! Friday, we had another usual day at camp.

I was sure it was nothing to worry about, but Monday morning I woke up with a full blown case of strep throat. Lovely. Luckily it was not that bad of a case, so I was out for only 3 days, but still.... by Thursday, I was starting to get immensely bored.
