After a busy first week at work learning the difference between SEWC, IRWMPs, the DWR, and many more fun acronyms I took the hills with fellow AmeriCorps volunteer Michelle to go snowshoeing in the Hope Valley. It was a glorious day...a light breeze, clear skies and brilliant, twinkling snow. You can check out the pics below. Also the one on the bottom is a view from my flat out onto Lake Tahoe. I am still pinching myself I have such a sweet living situation and an awesome flatmate who also fly-fishes! What are the chances?
I spoke to my friend Julie today who is working for an NGO in Chad with Darfurian refugees. If you want to read what she has been up to, check out the link by scrolling down the right side of this page. It sounds like a horrible situation there made only worse by UN troops and ineffective NGOs. So if you have time, maybe post some funny stories or inspiring quotes on her blog to keep her spirits up! We miss you Julie and hope you are safe and well!
More on Tahoe and my new job to come soon.

I was beginning to think you had forgotten about your blog. Your pictures look amazing and I'd love to visit, maybe July? Thanks for the card too, it made my day.
Take care
