UTAH

i am currently sitting in front of a warm fire, on a big couch, and if it weren't nighttime i would be looking out over the beautiful wasatch mountain range. i have had two great solo ski days so far-- i am really living the life up here at about 8,200 feet above sea level (even higher when i am skiing). its been a nice thing to be on my own up here. i find myself talking my neighbors' ears off on the lifts, telling them all about my life and asking about theirs. coincidentally, today i met a nice couple from san diego, and the woman was from boston, an art history major at conn college, and has a studio on 83rd and central park west. i also met some nice people from mexico, and obviously told them all about my stay in mexico some 7 years ago for a mere 5 weeks.

i wake up to this breakfast every morning, and again, sit in front of a roaring fire.

today i had a quick lunch at the top of the mountain in a small warming hut. i was the only one there to enjoy my turkey chile in peace. this was my view, it was cloudy today but yesterday was sun sun sunny. too bad my 35 mm camera doesn't fit in my pants pocket.
