November 5– a very special day which welcomed to this world such great human beings as: Shelley– My conjoined twin: I’m so excited for the day we can once again share a city.

As the jeep rolls down the long, dusty gravel driveway, you’ll find yourself on a cozy finca overlooking panoramic views of rolling farmland, grazing […]
