Glamping :: I went rockclimbing (outside in February!) and camping last weekend. Well, as we overheard the tent next to us say, it might have been more like “glamping” than camping. The tone in their  voice hinted that they might have been making fun of us, but I think they were just jealous.

Let me tell you – a bathroom, heat, a bed, and the ability to make creme brulee (yes, we did!) after a day of climbing in the freezing snow flurried coldness was a very wonderful thing. Had I been in the tent next door I would have been super envious.

Reunited :: We are in the midst of welcoming some extended family members to the USA! It’s pretty amazing to be part of the reuniting of sisters, cousins, and grandkids after close to a decade of being apart.

Run :: These days my weekly runs include this view. Sometimes I can’t believe how used to this city I’ve become.
