Greetings from Greece

Our Adventure in Greece is underway!

Beautiful weather, stunning scenery, warm people and magnificent fresh food; what more can you ask for?

The blog entries will be limited due to an exciting loud pop accompanied with a puff of smoke from our converter. Fortunately the camera battery charging is not impacted!

 On to some pics..

Mt. Pilchuck

Today we enjoyed a beautiful hike up and down Mt. Pilchuck in Snohomish County, Washington.  It's 3 miles each way, with over 2,200 feet elevation gain.

It's the most easily accessible peak in the Cascade Range - and it sure was busy on this perfect Northwest day - with hundreds of hikers and at least 25 dogs!

At the peak, there is an old fire lookout hut - now serving as a hiker shelter.  The peak itself was mostly stuck in a cloud, obsuring the 360 degree views Mt. Pilchuck is known for.  As a result, our photos today are not the typical variety for the hike.
