Literally going to The Dogs
I’ve been wanting to go the the Virgin Islands ever since my best friend (Anna Schmidt, who is still my best friend) handed over with tan hands a postcard of St. Thomas. We were only 19 years old at the time. She and her father had just gotten back from there. I’ll never forget sitting […]
