Thanksgiving Pictoral Extravaganza - The Aftermath

After the great repast, on Friday Gaius Derf and I went hiking on the La Luz trail, his favorite. The fact that it was 33 degrees and snowing was no deterrent. After being thawed out from my bout with hypothermia, we enjoyed the second repast on the leftovers. As cooking a big meal is always somewhat stressful, I really enjoy this second meal more than the first. This time we tried a Sangeovese from Sonoma and a Pinot Noir from Oregon as our wines. On Saturday we went to Santa Fe and walked the art galleries before stopping for a light meal of tapas at a local restaurant.

"Come to dinner ", he said.
"You'll be the guest of honor". he said.
"Everyone will love you", he said
"Damn Hannibal Lechter", I say

"It's only a short way to the top now de-I; just up there in the that whiteout there."

"Ha, just kidding."
"See how much better it looks going down now."
