Actually, I think the best part of the trip was just wandering through the old town without any plan. We stumbled on a tiny bakery that had the most incredible cinnamon rolls. My friend kept saying we should have brought a camera, but honestly I prefer those memories not being filtered through a screen. The weather was perfect the whole week, which made the hiking trails much more enjoyable. We ended up talking to a local artist who gave us directions to a hidden viewpoint overlooking the valley. Kg1N9ZdL7eXkh That view alone made the entire trip worthwhile. I’ve been trying to recreate the cinnamon roll recipe ever since we got back, but it never tastes quite the same. Maybe it’s the altitude or the water, but I’m determined to get it right eventually. Anyway, I just wanted to share that moment with you. Hope your week is going well. Talk soon.

Hey, did you end up trying that pasta recipe I sent last week? I made it again last night and finally got the sauce to the right consistency. Adding a splash of the reserved pasta water really made a difference. My roommate said it was the best batch yet, so I’m officially calling it a win. Also, I finally started watching that documentary series you recommended. The first episode was a bit slow, but the second one hooked me. I love how they break down the history behind everyday objects. I never realized how much thought goes into something as simple as a zipper. Anyway, let me know if you find any other good shows. We should do a double-date movie night soon. Maybe we can all pick something together. Alex has been talking about that new science fiction film, but I’m more in the mood for a comedy. Either way, it would be fun to catch up properly. Talk later.
