Back to school – 2023

I started school on Wednesday. No more following The Bigs around the house asking ‘what are we doing today?’

Except on the weekends, that is. Dad didn’t even give me a chance to ask this weekend. He planned another bikepacking trip. We did a route called ‘Catch and Release’.

There were some cool rocks near our campsite.

Here is a close up. They almost look like manmade columns.

There was also a very nice creek.

I think we broke The Mother. We found her laying down a lot.

On the second day, we had to cross the creek.

I was really cruising on my new bike.

Sometimes I would drop The Mother. Where is she now, laying down again?

Oh, there she is.

There were some gorgeous views of the mountains on our way in and out from camp – but they were a little hard to capture while riding!

After a vacation-imposed hiatus on my weekly dinner, I’m back with hoirino me mapa (pork and cabbage stew) from a cookbook I picked up at the library called ‘The Glorious Foods of Greece’. I have a great solution for avoiding tears when chopping onions – swim goggles!

Another tasty meal!

Wasn’t too many about back to school. The camping trip looked like a lot of fun. I didn’t see any swimming so I assumed the water is cold. The meal looked delicious.
