a day in the life: we hike a lot...


each of us volunteering in the clinic has 2-3 days off per week, as well as 2-3 half days, minimum.  it is such a light schedule, that most of the time it feels more like a vacation than anything else.

during our time off we do laundry (which actually takes quite a lot of time, since it’s all by hand), read novels, write in journals, knit (well, i knit), study, use the internet (if it's working), watch movies, shop for snacks (i personally cannot go a day without chocolate), and so on.  but, the thing we do more than anything else is hike!  it’s so wonderful to live in a place where you can go on a new hike every few days.  to be honest, it makes me miss the pacific northwest and the many, many trails of the lower cascades.  anyway, my body is exhausted on a regular basis, but the views around here are very much worth the effort. 

i love the mountains, i love the rolling hills...
