New England Snow and Ancient Empires

It is beautiful outside. I drove to work from Salem this morning and everything was caked in pure white from the storm yesterday. Every branch of every tree was laden with snow. Dark wet tree bark, cold shadows, and jet black pavement brought the contrast to a threshold as though the scene were drawn on paper in India ink. Even the signs on the highway were difficult to read through the frosting.

As for other climates, tickets are officially purchased for both Mexico, and Peru! I'll be snorkeling and exploring Mayan ruins in Cancun with Ashley and her parents from April 19th to the 26th. And from May 8th to the 20th, Tim and I will be hiking the Andes from Cuzco to the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu.

My excitement is immeasurable!
