9/26/11

directions: wake up at 3.30 am. stuff as many blankets & sweaters as you can into the car. (optional: pack snacks you don't end up eating). drive for an hour until you reach an altitude of 10 000 feet. shiver for an hour, but marvel as the sky slowly turns pink, lighting up the clouds below you. suddenly, that hot fiery ball of sun pops up over the clouds and the clouds disappear. the sun lights up the crater below you and instantly warms the air. and then be amazed, because it's really one of the most beautiful things you've ever seen.

    oh my goodness.. that's incredible. I can just imagine feeling empowered and humbled after seeing this, and heading back down the mountain with my rufus for a breakfast in a nearby cafe. perfection.

    Oh my god, I am totally and utterly in love with your pictures from Hawaii. I am trying to convince the hubby that we should go to Hawaii (with a week in California beforehand) for honeymoon but he just doesn't think it's exotic enough.

    Please help me to change his mind!
