Physically, I’m back in Arizona and at my day job, but mentally, I’m still in Italy.
After Kelly and I wrapped up the Rome portion of our two-week trip, we hopped onto a high-speed Frecciarossa train bound for our next destination: Florence!
SING TO ME PAOLO!
Ciao amici! Hello from Italy!
My sister (Kelly) and I are about halfway through our two-week trip around Italy. We just wrapped up the first part of our trip — a few days in Venice — which was way cooler than I could have ever hoped.
I can’t believe it’s been one full year since we scooped our stubborn, sassy, shedding husky up from the Maricopa County animal shelter!
“What did you do last week?”
2/12.
It’s been a pretty chill (figuratively, not literally) February here in Flagstaff.
I’ve been trying to keep my nose buried in various books lately.
Maybe one day I’ll go backpacking somewhere where everything isn’t trying to maim, stab, injure, scratch or otherwise kill me.
But, because I live in Arizona, yesterday was not that day. 😉
Ryan and I just got back from a two-day, one-night backpacking trip down in the Superstition Wilderness Area of the Tonto National Forest, where we turned off our iPhones, traversed across dry creek beds and took in expansive views of towering Saguaros.
We’re already off to an awkward start here. Are you reading this on your phone?
Yikes.
After a few years of working in wildfire response, I’ve become a bit of an Incident Command System (ICS) nerd.
