Me and My Gnomie

This summer is different from any other summer I've experienced. For the first time, Lexie and I are not together....in fact, we're not even in the same country, or even the same continent.  She is in London for the summer, while I'm in Buenos Aires. Since we are so far away from each other, we decided to do something to help lessen the distance.  We each have a little garden gnome, like the one from the Travelocity commercials, and we put a picture of the other one's face on the gnome.  We are taking pictures of the gnomes when we travel, so it feels like we're traveling together.  Even though Lexie is in Europe for the summer, the gnome I have with her picture on it is traveling through South America.  To track 'Lexie's' travels this summer, check out the photos posted here!
