What was your most memorable summer adventure?
This summer my daughter was married to her high school sweetheart, a talented and charming young man from Chile. We attended wedding ceremonies in Seattle and Chile. After the weddings our family vacationed together in Peru, hiking for four days on the Inca Trail, enjoying Machu Picchu, and exploring the many Inca ruins around Cuzco. I also spent some time in the mountains of Colorado hiking and riding my bike.
