I really like visiting Seattle and the surrounding region. Here’s why:
- Moist air – great for the skin
- Trees – they’re green and they make the air smell nice
- Clouds – I miss them here in SoCal
- Friends and family – it’s nice to catch up with everyone
- Rock climbing – just being closer to Index, Squamish, and Smith Rock makes me happier
But, alas, we are now back in the hot dryness of SoCal. At least I only have one week of class left and not much in terms of finals. I’ve only got one school application and 2 fellowship applications to go. And in a week and a half I will be out in the field working on my project. Which is awesome because fieldwork is much more fun and exciting than homework.
Hopefully everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Luke and I had fun in Bishop before heading to Seattle. I even flashed my first “V4” – Hard Crack at the Happy Boulders. It probably wasn’t V4. But it was awesome and the fall would have been scary, had I taken it. A longer TR with lots of photos to come soon.
