arriba, abajo, al centro, pa dentro

Howdy. As I’m writing this, it is a balmy 77 degrees outside and of course, I’m sitting at my desk. However, in a mere four hours I will be enjoying the fresh air and playing some volleyball. Ahhh, Idaho in the summer.

I’m telling you folks, it’s great up here in the summer. The winter sucks, but the summer is great. It’s kind of nice to be able to walk on concrete in the middle of the day and not worry about getting third degree burns on my feet. And there is so much greenery! Trees, grass, cars running on converted fryer oil and bio-diesel, you name it!

The downside is summer can be kind of lonely up here. I’ve had a hard time making friends outside of the University and it is bizarrely quiet when students leave for Summer Break. Moscow really is a college town.

I’ve been trying to occupy myself with the occasional BBQ (see evidence below) and by being more active. I’ve started to take a yoga class which, I must say, is all kinds of wonderful. I’m spending lots of time outside as well, playing v-ball, going to the weekly Farmer’s Market, and bike rides.

You all should swing by!
