Reading this blog you might get the impression that the only thing we do is hike. That is not entirely true. It is though usually what I feel is worth writing about but of course we don’t spend every day and hour in our hiking boots.

Between our outdoor adventures and sightseeing though there is a lot of washing clothes, writing emails, checking weather, news and what is going on \u201cin the real world\u201d, grocery shopping, driving, cooking, research, planning, going to information centers, chatting to people, drinking coffee and tea, going to the movies and just hanging out (except we don’t have a sofa to throw ourselves in). Basically a lot of what you need to do at home as well. The one thing we do not have to do is clean the house, which I am extremely happy about because it is not my favorite thing.<\/p>\n
