Feet.
They’ve always gotten a bad rap for their dirty, stinky, toe-jammy ways, but without them, you’re just your average footless Joe.

After spending the last five months studying abroad in Sweden, who would have thought I would end up in Blacksburg, VA. With two siblings attending Virginia Tech, I searched for opportunities the town had to offer. I found myself with the incredible opportunities to work as an intern and swim lesson instructor.
Blacksburg has provided a safe and friendly environment for me to spend the summer as a student going into my senior year of college. The area offers numerous activities to engage in. One highlight of my first few days here is Monday Night Blues at The Cellar in downtown Blacksburg. Local artists present their musical talents as an addition to the amusing atmosphere of swing dancing and jovial music that entertains the locals on Monday nights. The downtown area also provides numerous restaurants and shops that would acquire anyone’s tastes.
As well, the outdoor activities of Blacksburg make the town a desirable place to be, especially in the summer time. Over the weekend, I was able to spend the day floating down the river in an inner tube with the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains as the landscape. This served as just one enticing activity that would attract anyone to the numerous activities Blacksburg has to offer. (more…)
