I was looking through some old photos last night and found that whole set from the hiking trip we took a couple years back. Remember how we got lost on that trail and ended up finding that amazing little waterfall? I was thinking we should plan another trip like that soon. The weather has been so nice lately and I really miss just getting out of the city for a weekend. Let me know if you're free next month. I could look into some cabins or even just camping spots if you're up for it. Honestly even a day hike would be great. We could bring some sandwiches and make a whole day of it. I will check my calendar and send you some options. It would be really nice to catch up properly.

I also wanted to ask if you have seen that documentary series about national parks that just came out. I watched the first episode and it had some incredible footage of the night sky. Made me think of that time we tried to do astrophotography and failed miserably. We should give it another try sometime.

I finally tried that new recipe you sent me last week and it turned out really well. I was a bit nervous about the timing because the sauce can apparently burn easily but I kept a close eye on it and everything came together perfectly. The spices were just right and the texture was great. I served it with some roasted vegetables on the side and it made for a really nice dinner. Even my partner who is usually skeptical of new recipes asked for seconds. So thank you for sharing that. I am going to make it again next week for when my parents come over. I think they will love it. Do you have any other recipes you would recommend? I have been trying to cook more at home and expanding my rotation.

Also I wanted to ask if you have been watching that new series everyone is talking about. We started it last weekend and binged four episodes already. The pacing is really good and the cinematography is stunning.
