i was gone for a week for my brother's wedding but now i'm back and it feels great to be back in estes park, colorado being daring and adventurous. my brother's wedding was so much fun and so beautiful--i cried! here's a picture:
so i got back to colorado monday evening, and wednesday i hiked four mountain peaks called FHOT (flattop, hallett, otis, taylor). i was a little worried about getting altitude sickness from not being totally acclamated to the altitude but i was fine. although it's friday and my body is still recovering, i'm a bit sore. the hike was amazing. the morning sky was so clear and once we got on top we were looking out onto a blanket of clouds. we had a bit of a scared, one of my friends Jessica when she was hiking up to the top of Otis stipped on the rocks and cut her mouth--it was a scare but she was alright. the clouds started looking a little scary before we climbed taylor. after taylor we slid down Andrew's Glacier which was really really really fun! but then the thunder came. i got scared and hence freaked out irrationally but i had some great friends to calm me down and keep me composed :-) we made it down alive to tell the tale too!! here are some pictures!
