We have just returned from a wonderful relaxing trip to Albuquerque and Santa Fe to visit family and friends.I totally over ate at Clara and Carlos's party. Lots of good food. I could hardy move. We had a contest to pick the license plate letters for Carlos new electric motorcycle and "LCTRIC" won. Thanks so much to both of them for their hospitality.
The next day in Santa Fe, the eight of us got caught out in a serious hail storm. We were on the 
street in town, the clouds were dark and you could tell a storm was coming.... But when dime size hailstones started impacting around us one at a time then quickly increased frequency to storm it was really a surprise. Tullah Tate were safe inside the Schwinn baby stroller (the king of baby strollers) which was really cool. We ran for cover. Jonah and I made it around a street corner to some shelter, but when we looked back the rest hadn't followed us. I went back to check on them and found all four huddled behind a single tree trunk getting pelleted by hail. It was pretty cool whether event. We had a great time making sushi that night.

The next day Jill and I went off to Bandelier National Monument. Being in the National Park was special treat for Jill and I because we haven't been able to go since we got Lizzie. It was great to climb around on the ladders and go in the caves. We climbed to one alcove that required 14o feet of ladder climbing. It looks like most of park is fairly primitive and it would be a good place for backpacking.
I got my ring fixed at the little shop where I bought it. That night got to play some bochi with Dad. Maybe he will be able to come to the ridge in Sept
Overall it was great trip. I liked how it was simple. that made it relaxing and made time to visit and have fun.
A few thoughts:
Jonah's house is super cool. I really like the idea of not just following the traditional building code. You can still meet or exceed safety and energy standards without doing it the same way that everyone else does.
Also like the idea of building an image portfolio that displays the image sin a large size.
It was awesome to see some of the images from Egypt and to see Jonah's journal entries. It makes me think that I am on track with the blog.
