Summer Vacation 2016

It did not know that we are going to visit it's favorite mountain. And it did not know that there will be a concert of a band it likes.

We did plan this vacation around three basic parameters:

  • We want to go on a #PGBackPacking trip

Everything else we've seen, visited, and experienced is a nice add-on.
