What an unexpected adventure this was to read! I'm now totally motivated to skijor someday, though I don't have the dogs or gear for it at the moment. 😂 I do have ski trails all around and a friend who can teach me, though, so that's something!! I'll keep you posted. (And your writing is just so good, as always, Liz).

Thank you so much, Kendall! That’s great that you have ski trails nearby. I don’t know how I’d get through winter without them. I forget, where do you live?

I live in a little town called Winthrop, just south of the border in North central WA. :)

I bet it’s lovely there!

Omg I can’t imagine being attached to my dog on skis, I would be dragged all over the place! Beautiful scene!

Thanks Liz! There is a lot of getting dragged here and there, but when we get in the groove, it is so much fun.

Have fun to read about someone cross country skiing. I was raised in upstate New York and my parents bought them and all three of us kids cross country ski gear. We went quite frequently. They even used to take us out of school to go skiing! You could never do that today, but it was an absolute blast, and I have very fond memories of it.

It sounds like you grew up with very cool parents, Evie! How lucky to skip school for a family ski.

Hello from Mexico! I arrived in San Poncho 5 days ago, and am loving it. I still think you made the right decision to return home, Liz. I flew here from Palm Springs after a seven-day juice fast/cleanse at my favorite spa. Driving to Mexico from New England is a tremendously long journey, but flying is, obviously, a much smaller commitment.

Glad to read your report from NH. I do miss the quiet of Maine, as even this small beach town is noisier than I am accustomed to. Take Care, Jack

Thanks for the update, Jack! I am jealous of your winter plans. Flying sounds infinitely easier than driving, but I don’t like to go anywhere without my dogs, so I haven’t flown in years. Enjoy the beach!
