One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

backpacking in the himalayas, which i did in spring of 2012, was absolutely amazing - the incredible people i met (how helpful they were especially) and the beautiful, beautiful views. I also have amazing memories from spending a week every summer with my extended family on Saginaw Bay, Michigan, just sailing, cooking, playing cards, and being very content together, too.
