(3 to be specific) Writing a few months later to document the packed summer. I've always known Seattle isn't going to be forever and I think my brain wants me to do everything I can before I end up leaving. I definitely feel like I haven't sat still for a while, but that's what the winter is for, right? A summer of hikes - 3 days of hiking in utah - Twin Falls with my work team - Camping + hiking at Yosemite with Sapna Chitta and fam - Lake 22 and Ranier with friends - Oregon coast A summer of company - Ammamma and mum were my first guests, back in June. No itinerary, just vibes and homemade food - and, for some reason, an antique car show. - Next came Matt and Brittany, who we celebrated Fourth of July with. Was great to catch up and have them in the city. And a few weeks after they left, they got engaged! Congrats! - Then was dev, always a fun time. I don't have many high school friends on the west coast but so it's really nice to catch up with the ones who are here. - Then Niyati and fam, haven't seen any of them in a long time so it was great seeing her. A DC trip is long overdue. - Speaking of HS friends on the west coast, Vaishu spent the summer in Cali and I was able to book her for one whole weekend. Between a bollywood night, liming around the city, dosas at a farmer's market and an overhyped lava cake, it was a great time. - Now that I finally have more family on this side of the country, mera farz tho banta hai to visit them. Knowing the travelers they are, I didn't expect to stay home too long. Some highlights:
- Oregon Coast trip, with old friends and new. Some more highlights
A summer of food need i say more A summer of hobbies - Finally started to read again, I'm literate once more! - Joined an oil painting class. The teacher is a sweet old man who is passionate about his work. He has a small tremor in his dominant hand so has to use his other hand to keep the brush steady :,) - Did not work out consistently. tried my best tho - Cooked a bunch, finally getting motivation again - Been dancing a lot lately. The minutes before I have to lug myself to go to the class are always weighty, but then I remember how fun it is to actually dance, regardless of the style. Classical, kuthuhop, bhangra, hip hop, line dancing! - Embroidered with Aisha! Fun but too painstaking for what it ends up being. Would not recommend this coast is kinda nice huh
