The snow finally made it over the Sierras and left a 2" blanket on the valley floor. Reno is ready for the Christmas travelers and the neighborhoods are blazed with Christmas lights. I watch Rick Steves Christmas travels in Bavaria and wonder where is my daughter, a serious student at Oxford is these days. Cate wirtes in depth about the moral teachings of Agustine, Aquainas, Plato and Moore with such eloquence. She is an intellectual and the Oxford teaching one-on-one a very tough school forces her to write and write.Cate is either in Florence, Dublin or Paris with student friends from the University of San Francisco. She doesn't use her cell phone outside the British Isle and her emails are sporadic. We are sure she is having a wonderful adventure. She will miss our annual camping trip to Arizona and Mexico.
As a family (n-1), we travel this season with selected friends who camp, hunt and love to explore the Indian ruins and find a seclude arroyo with plenty of wood and stay there for 2-3 weeks. We avoid the hideous commercialization of the season and celebrate the joy of Christmas day in the Sonoran deserts with daily hunt, raging camp fires and soaking in hot irrigation waters
