A JAP in Burner’s Clothing

Follow me on 
So the bar is over and I just got back from the most romantic celebratory vacation imaginable with Mr. Dreamboat in Cambodia. I have quite a bit to post about it, but unfortunately practically no internet access to do so that will have to wait till next week. I’m currently at the Burning Man festival which you can read about at Wikipedia here although my Grandmother summed it up pretty up nicely when she said that “attending a counter-culture art festival should be an interesting affair.”
However, I’ve asked my sister to fill in for a few days while I’m gone. Enjoy her posts while I’m gone and I can’t wait to catch you up, come labor day! Enjoy the end of summer!
