Dirty Girl

It was a holiday and

Yertle's birthday.

 No better time for adventure.

So off we went to magical Daejon.

Our jump off point was the Eco Forest

where we took the path less traveled

and wondered off into the mountains of Korea.

Yertle, reviewing all she can see.

Yertle (Alyssa) and Landino celebrate her birthday.

Happiness is the path less traveled.

We left the world behind.

Landino took it like a man.

 At the end of the hike 

we found our ourselves.

dirty

sweaty

hungry

thirsty

sore

beat up

and

far from the maddening crowd.

But we were there,

unabashedly ourselves.

 Which is why it's so much easier

to find yourself

when on an adventure.
