Anticipation

It's a Sunday evening and I am sitting on the couch with a curled up kitty and classical music in the background. All I can say is "ahhhh" I love these days that just go by slowly. Getting a few things done, but no real agenda. I find myself getting up from the lovely purple couch to continually write things down in preparation for the big trip ahead. Yesterday I went on the most epic mountain bike ride I have ever attempted. It was beautiful. It's up near Mt. Bachelor and after just 4-5 miles of climbing you get all the rest in an awesome downhill ride all the way into town right to 10 Barrel brewing. It's funny how I always seem to end up there after these day long mountain bike excursions. I think mountain biking is quickly becoming my gravity fed sport of the off winter months. But back to the real reason I am bothering to write on this here blog.

In a just over a week I will be traveling 10,400 miles to South Africa where Taylor and I will rendezvous in Cape Town. Oh how I hope this week to come flies by. This has been one long year but man oh man, do I love the travel that it has allowed Taylor and I to do. It has almost been 6 months since our last trip to Spain. Can't believe it's been that long. In some ways it has gone fast and others it has just drug on. But soon we will be hanging out and enjoying a whole new scene on yet another continent. Wow, is all I can think in my head. I hope to soon be getting a few blog posts up from Cape Town. So keep your eye on the blog and hopefully there will be some good stuff to come.

Hopefully soon I will be relaying my own photos here but until then you can daydream a little with me too.
