Amherst weekend

Last weekend, I visited Brad in Amherst, a quaint & funky town in the western part of the state. Brad is staying at Amherst College for a 2 week workshop in Genomics. He is loving it!!!! The whole weekend was great - delicious outdoor meals, plenty of walking around, interesting people to watch - but the highlight was definitely our afternoon hike on Saturday. We hiked to the peak of a couple of "mountains", saw some breathtaking sights, returned to our car sweaty and tired, and treated ourselves to a root beer float (Brad) and a strawberry-banana smoothie (me). I'll post some pictures once I upload them on my computer.
