Psyche is stratospheric, because I’m finally back in Mallorca, after 12 YEARS. I don’t know why it took me this long to return to this magical island, to do the most fun thing I’ve ever done before, but, better late than never right?!? @drumack5 arrives tomorrow. Then, go time. — Photos by @boonespeed
