| Namaste Instead of going on the boozy senior trip Zaven chose to go to Nepal with All Hands to rebuild a school which had been destroyed in the recent earthquake. Meditating? Gratitude? Resting? It was pretty rough. Hours of long physical labor in very rustic conditions. Thankfully Z has had extensive rifugi experience, which after Nepal seem like 5 star accommodations. Nepal 27 May - 4 June 2016 |
We were so grateful to have him home. Right, picking Z up from the train station after his flight. I feel like he came back more manly. We are planning a trip to Nepal to do some trekking next year so it is great that Z did some scouting. What an amazing and rewarding experience. |
| We met Sin & Phil in Tuscany for the weekend. Did some wine tasting and hung out with the kids and the views. Love these guys and love Tuscany. 21 & 22 May Monteione, Toscana |
| My Goddaughter Lilly's 3rd birthday. Her first purse (round kitty - semi out of frame) and matching kitty shoes and they match my darling kitty shoes. Love, love, love |
| We visited Volterra and had a lovely lunch with Sin, Phil, kids and her parents. It was a chianti weekend. |
