Roches Rouges

Today, FPS (fellow physicist's spouse) Diane and FPS Lorna, hiked up to the end of the road, then up the trails to the top of the red rocks behind us.  We were more than two hours going up and 45 minutes coming down.

The views of the cove and the town were wonderful and it was good to be in the company of such interesting women.  Catbird is always humbled in the presence of the achievements of so many FPSs.  Often Catbird is intimidated.  And some FPSs are just real pills.  But these women were just plain fascinating and Catbird looks forward to spending more time with them this week.

The switchbacks were of a reasonable grade and before we ran out of road, we passed several vacation homes with amazing landscaping. 

Up into the hills, we continued to find beautiful flora and fauna--including some plant we waded through that gave a spicy scent we could not identify.

Even if she hadn't spent the afternoon floating in the Mediterranean, Catbird would feel very lucky today, very lucky indeed.
