As some of you know, I was supposed to leave last Friday to visit my friend in Frankfurt and then go on to a tour of the Caucasus. Unfortunately, my body decided that last week it needed to have its gallbladder removed. I had to postpone my trip. I just wanted to let people know in case there were some people wondering why I hadn’t started posting. I have two very delightful one week trips scheduled this summer. One camping at the Hood Canal in Washington and then a week with my family exploring Vancouver Island. I will definitely post those trips. Also my boat is back in the water and ready for summer adventures. My garden is going crazy. I hope this post finds everybody well. c’est le vie.
