From North to South: Thanksgiving with the fam

From North to South

Amy's ramblings. Once upon a time these ramblings pertained to my 5 months in Guatemala and Honduras. Then they followed the ebb and flow of my final semester in Alaska. From there things really went south ... to Argentina, Bolivia and Chile. After 8 months in the Andes, I fell back under Alaska's spell … working at a newspaper and wandering mountains. Now I'm somewhat south again ... in Jackson Hole, WY, teaching ski school on the clock and making fresh tracks off the clock.

Thanksgiving with the fam

I spent a week over Thanksgiving with family in Seattle. My godparents, Ward and Wendy, live in north Seattle, and my bro, Brad, and his girlfriend, Meg, live in Tacoma. My parents flew in from Seattle, so the whole crew was present and accounted for. All in all, lots of good food and lots of relax time. Also, it should be noted that we managed to keep our games of Settlers of Catan civil. For those of you who don't know, Settlers of Catan is a highly addictive board game that tends to bring out one's competitive side. After Thanksgiving last year, we said, only half jokingly, that we needed to join SA ... Settlers Anonymous.
