July Journeys

It was a month of movement for the AthoTurnbulls. Nick and Elena kicked off their Great Northern Adventure before the planned return to Spain, James and Keno visited Germany before leaving Oxford for New York a few months so Keno could do some work at Princeton, Olivia made daily treks to Logan Hospital & hit the festival scene over the border, and Paulie and Stephen continued their travelling work routines.
