the Sugar Bush

I've been to London, Ontario a few times. Yank Thank freshman year, last October... It's a neat little city. I got to stay with Erika for two nights this time, which left us a little more time to explore. I really like travelling with friends who are foodies and locavores, and Erika is one of the best. A pastry chef who's lived in London her entire life and is a regular visitor to the farmer's market. Saturday we went for a late breakfast at the Root Cellar, where I had eggs-in-squash on kale (!). We met up with two of Erika's friends and headed to a visit to the (year round!) farmer's market, and then headed to a Sugar Bush!

Yes, that's a coyote on my head. He's really warm!

Mt Constitution Hike

I try to put up a blog post within a week of an adventure or event, so this is rather late...

Winter in the PNW has been unusually warm and sunny this year. So warm and sunny, in fact, that M and I decided to go on our first hiking adventure back in February. He has spent several weeks in the past year working on Orcas, coming back every time with stories of hiking/running around Moran state Park. A sunny Valentine's Day weekend was the perfect excuse to go explore the lakes, trails, and mountain on the east side of the island.
