Well, I feel like I'm settling in nicely into life in Nelson. This past week has been busy with lots of dog walks, beers with friends (including the good folks at
Vacuum) and looking for a place to rent. So far no luck in that department. I missed out on a great place today because I took too long to think about it. Lesson learned! Luckily, Lisa hasn't kicked me out yet! I'm optimistic that I'll find something in the next little while though.
In the meantime, I went on a great hike past New Denver today called Alps Alturas. It was quite a climb on logging roads to get there, the Subaru got a good workout, but it was well worth it for the views. Within two kilometers of starting we were in alpine terrain, and there were all kinds of wildflowers in bloom. Even the r
ain that was threatening stayed away and we had blue skies for most of the day. It was beautiful. Unfortunately my footwear didn't agree with my feet (big surprise, eh Sheri?) so I've got loonie sized blisters on both heels and will be wearing flip flops for the next couple of days. Another lesson learned, I'll be much better prepared next time. Fortunately the pain in my feet was forgotten after a couple beers on the patio in Silverton on the way home.
