Alps, alps and friends

Hey!

Its been forever since I've written...sorry...but I have a good excuse!

SO much has been going on!

I finished school, had an art exhibition, made necklaces for a bazar,

and we finally know the dates we're going to the States (Aug.-Nov.)

Right now my family is in a mountain hut, 1500m off of sea level! Phew! That's high!

The highest I've ever lived was 1000m. It is beautiful up here.

The sun is shining and the sky is the clearest cerulean blue there is.

The colors of the mountains here are different from any I've ever seen: Purple, ocker, and hooker's green, so different from the familiar Alps of Austria.

Staying with us in this beautiful setting, are our friends from Blacksburg.

It is so wonderful to see them again, although I keep catching myself thinking,"Isn't it wonderful to be in the States again and see all our friends again?!" Since we usually only see them in the States, every two years.

Oh well!

I will try to update my blog more frequently, now that school is done,

though I'm not sure there IS anyone out there really reading this...

I will write anyway, since the fun is in the writing, not the knowing there are people reading my peculiar thoughts... :D

Have a wonderful summer, you invisible readers who might even not exist!

Yours sincerely,

Tessa
