A group of seven VCS teachers went camping and hiking together over our Fall Break weekend. We didn't go far - just to the other side of the city, to the Vienna Woods. We rented "bungalows", which were small rooms with four bunks, a table and four chairs. We did our cooking in a community kitchen provided by the camp.
The highlight of the trip for me (besides winning at Hand and Foot) was the hike we took on Sunday. The sun was out and the fall colors were gorgeous. We stopped for a picnic lunch half-way through. I really enjoyed spending time in nature and talking leisurely with friends along the way.
Yvonne has a new camera and got serious about capturing great photos. This one makes me laugh!
The first Christmas Market of the season opened at the city hall on Saturday. In honor of my friend's birthday, RheaAnne and I decided to visit on opening day. We enjoyed a stroll through the market and the taste of roasted chestnuts.
Later, RheaAnne and her roommate organized a progressive dinner with a Mexican theme. We had chips and salsa at the first apartment, tacos and enchiladas at the second, and chocolate cake at the third. Everyone stayed late talking, laughing and playing games. It was a great evening!
