It’s a lot flatter than I expected. Climbed by moonlight last night. Nothing to see here, move along.

the grand month of adventuring begins
The last couple of days disappeared somewhere. I was sitting there innocently, and then all of a sudden it was farewell lunches, and packing up my apartment, and flat out finishing things at work, and cleaning and cleaning and cleaning my apartment, and trying to mail my crash pad home, and finding out it’s too big to be mailed to Australia (although not too big to be mailed to lots of other countries), and then moving all of my stuff out of my apartment, and handing my keys over, then having to get my keys back because I realised I left a box in the cupboard. And now today I’m catching a plane to Colorado, on the first of my adventures in the GRAND MONTH OF ADVENTURING. (I would like some more sleep though sometime, please.)
The shrimp brownie – a dish created while at an all-you-can-eat sushi bar in Las Vegas, after a day climbing at Red Rocks. It was acclaimed as a brilliant fusion of east and west, a transitional dish between the main course and dessert.

and i wasn’t lying
This is me, on top of Hawksbill (the highest peak in Shenandoah National Park), reclining against a hazy backdrop.

I saw a bear! Thank goodness it didn’t savage me. And some deers that were almost mooses, but not quite. Reached the summit of another peak also. Photos on their way (hold back your excitement, dear readers, I can see you are frothing at the mouth).
