Havasupai

Paul and I had an amazing trip to Havasupai, AZ the first weekend of August.

It is a little oasis in the middle of the desert. The warm water looked like blue Gatorade. There are beautiful majestic falls, and beautiful pools. The red rock cliffs are also a favorite (and made me feel at home). Even the 10 mile hike in and out was serene and beautiful (so drastically opposite our Las Vegas stay on the way home).

Besides my fainting incident and several huge blisters, the trip was a great success.

Check out some of Paul's amazing photography of it all here.
(special bonus pics at the end include the evolution of Paul's hair and beard.)

The end of summer... I think I might cry.

Only a week and a half left of summer.
And of course- I basically work all the time.
I feel like I have no time to do anything that I want to do.
But at least Paul got me some sweet biking duds... Friday night (next available time slot), we will be hitting up the mountain side.
I'm so excited for that chamois.

Post Edit: To clarify (for Eric and others, I'm sure)...
Biking duds = biking clothes/outfit. Also called a "kit".
Chamois= the nice padding my bum will soon enjoy.

(The spandex is underneath.. wahoo. Lots of great pockets to hide clif bars and maybe some candy too)
