About this blog

Climbing Kilimanjaro con la familia, with my sister and her hubby as well as our two parents--and every decade of age represented from 30's to 60's--was a trip of a lifetime. Then throw in a little safari-ing in E Africa, a few days chilling at a gorgeous island retreat in the Indian Ocean, 2 weeks baking in the heat with my sis during a sirocco in Morocco, and top it off with a skip around Europe to visit friends. Not a bad little summer!
