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 photos

Here's some photos from Thanksgiving. Cory, Zippy, Oscar and I drove to CO to visit my family. Brad and Meg flew in from Washington, so we had the whole crew. On Thanksgiving Day several more family and friends showed up at my parent's house for an all out feast. The long weekend was wonderful ... full of laughter, good food and a few fun forays into the mountains.

Note: I realize this post is sorely overdue, but better late than never right? My excuse for the total neglect of this blog is two fold: amazing early season snowfall (meaning amazing early season skiing) and falling in love. That's a demanding combination.

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.

Thanksgiving with the family

As an indication of just how crazy busy I've been over the past few weeks ... I'm just now getting photos from when my family came to visit me during Thanksgiving up on my blog. We had a great time together ... lots of hanging out in my cabin and skiing and sledding in my "backyard." It snowed the whole time!
