We hiked 10.5 miles here on Sunday - got lost, and a 5.5 mile nearly doubled. Oh, well, we need the miles! I have been away from Aminus and miss my Aminus friends, but I have been so busy getting ready for our big trip and the art festivals that I will be trying to sell my work in come September. We leave next Thursday for Paris. A week in Paris, 2 weeks hiking around Mt. Blanc, and a week in Amsterdam. Then 3 weeks after getting home, I have my first festival. Whew! No wonder I have been absent from this community, and all other for that matter! My friends are feeling neglected.

I'll be taking lots of photos in Europe (of course!) and hope to post occasionally when I have access to wifi, but most of them will not come up for air until later in October, when the festivals are under my belt. Doing the festivals is a big challenge and a crap shoot in terms of whether or not I will sell. As they say, we will see! Have a great summer, everyone! See you back here in the fall.
