Happy Halloween! I hope everyone had a great month of October! Do you remember where you were a year ago?
In October
2010, I was literally half way around the world. It was a busy month, filled
with adventures. I met a bunch of new people, had
Everest in my sights, experienced
the effects of altitude, got food
poisoning, ate my first Mo Mo and had Pizza
in Kathmandu.
This October
I am back in the proper hemisphere, but things are still pretty busy! I
finished up working
in Missouri, spent time with friends
and family,
took a
trip to New York, ran a half marathon and am learning how
to take better photos!
So here we
have, in photo form, the WHO, the WHERE, and the WHAT of Then and Now.
THE WHO:
2010:
Random Dirty Children, Yaks, Fellow Travelers, and yes, Mr. L and his Nasty Beard
2011:
M in MA, Berreaux in NYC, Red and Lucy the Dog, Mouse the Cat, Mr. L *and a much more manageable beard
THE WHERE:
2010: The Highest Mountain in The World
2011: The Highest Mountain in Missouri
THE WHAT:
Activities:
2010: Lots of Trekking
2011: Lots of Running
Food:
2010: Lots of Sherpa Stew
2011: Lots of Bratwurst
DRINKS:
2010: 4000 gallons of lemon tea
2011: 4000 gallons of water
I am looking forward to seeing what November holds. I think it will be a lot of hiking, spending time with family, baking, cooking and eating, since I am currently staying with my Mom and have plenty of time on my hands (and no phone service or internet!) and lots of great people and places to see!
What were YOU doing last October? Have things changed? Or are they happily the same?
