Hiking season begins!

I was a little worried this year. Spring has come so late and I was starting to think we would never get out hiking. And then I broke my toe. (I dropped a 60 pound glass tabletop on it). Well spring has finally arrived and I tested out my toe's fitness with a little hike with an American visitor the other day. Yay! No problems! My hiking boots (new full leather boots) that I bought last year did a good job keeping my toe on the straight and narrow. Tomorrow Kencent and I will go for a nice long hike. There is still plenty of snow in the mountains so we have chosen a hike that isn't so deep in the kan. I can't wait. I have already made my lunch.

it's official, Grasslands is my favorite place on earth

we will be going back next year. absolutely. this time we will camp in the more rugged badlands of the east block.
