Yes, the adventures of Jesse, Teresa, and Kate continue...but this time in America!
Kate came for a visit at the beginning of November and oh boy did we all have fun. The extended weekend included lots of hiking, playing in the freshly fallen snow, eating out (thanks to the generosity of Kate's wonderful mom) and drinking our fair share of tea.
I stole the collage of pictures from Kate because she did such a good job capturing our mega hike of 8.5 miles to sand beach. We bush-wacked a mile straight up the side of the mountain for a "short-cut" to get to the trail and finished the rest of the hike through the snow. If Kate lived in Estes full-time (which she should) she would be hiking circles around us...this Nebraskan who lived at sea level for the last 2 1/2 years in Tokyo dominated the trail. Very impressive, Kate. We are happy to have you back in the states and look forward to more visits to the mountains!
