Hudson & Tampa
Summer 2022
June
Floridian summer, intractable lovebugs, and star jasmine in full bloom.
After picking Chief up from the airport, we spent a night in Tampa before coming home.
We stopped by a pet shop on our way, then ended up taking a little rest before continuing toward home.
Somewhere along the way, everyone started calling Juan "Chief". It stuck.
