My summer road trip took a big part of summer, but was worth every second. Summer 2015 was the first summer I spent in America since 2008. It was the first summer I'd had without work since 2011. For the past three summers I'd been leaving one day after public school ended to go work the summer program in Leysin, Switzerland. While that was wonderful and something I loved to do, it also meant returning to America with three days (if I was lucky) before the new school year began.
It was time to enjoy summer and it was time to enjoy Vermont.
