Dreaming of hot springs again
I really really really want to get away and go soak for a while. Here are some pics: Me in the Travertine Hot Springs at Bridgeport Ari and Shelly at another part of the Travertine: This is Hot Creek, with Shelly and Ari in good hot water: This is outside Keough Hot Springs in Bishop [...]
More stuff non-food blog related.
