down in the valley, up at the mountaintops.

our summer adventures began with a trip deep into the beauty of a small village in Tirol, Austria. I've never had a view such as this from my window for a week.
my parents climbed every mountain in sight, it least it felt like it. me and Josh climbed a couple of them and simply rested and explored and enjoyed the beauty all around us the rest of the time. evenings were spent watching the sun set behind the mountaintops and sky turn dark blue color as we played music or talked at the balcony. the very few rainy days were spent sipping warm tea and watching the clouds roll over the mountains and cover the trees and fill the valley with mist.

as I sit here now two monts later and I think of how wonderful it was to be disconnected from the world for a bit. from the world that's fast, and busy, and computer screen, and to do lists. how wonderful it was to enjoy the life we've been given. I need to make more of my days worthwhile like this.

Josh obviously didn't know you're not supossed to pick wildflowers in the Alps. I didn't mind.
