Friends are so important in ones life. I know that you have many and many more to meet out in the world. Love you as a daughter and "a friend".
Annie, It was wonderful to meet you and Ashley. You are the epitome of Colorado women flying by the seats of your pants. I love it (and can relate!) Best of luck with your travels.
Mom, yes, you are correct. Friends are very important and have made these travel experiences all the more memorable and special.
