Back at the Casa



Hi everybody,
I know it's been an eternity since I've posted anything. The email/internet access when I was stateside was almost non-existent. I really didn't have time anyway since we were flying so much.
Our deployment to the states went well. As usual, it was super busy. I got a lot of experience flying in these new locations--and being put under pressure always makes you better (although it really sucks when you're doing it.) Hill AFB (in Utah) was my favorite part of the trip. We took a weekend trip to Park City, Utah...which was a really cool scene. I'd never really been to a U.S. ski/mountain town.
Las Vegas was as expected. Lots of flying and little time to relax. I'm pretty much sick of Vegas by now. The casino life really isn't for me.

I just got back on Thursday...and since then I've been doing all the little crap that needs to get done to sustain normal life (the stuff I hate: laundry, unpacking and paying bills). However, I did take a little hike up in the mountains near Piancavallo (a mountain about 20 minutes from my house). Two pictures: one is a cow (I know, boring). Actually, it was really cool to see a small herd of cattle grazing so high in the mountains. The other pic is just of a little mountain hut (I'm guessing for storing farm supplies, etc...but who knows how long this thing has been there?)

Ciao,
Ed

The one with the cow is very pretty; the sky is unbelievably blue!

Glad you made it back without incident.

My fear was that you found yourself at an Elvis-themed wedding chapel with a 19-yr-old blonde tennis star from Elbonia/ Dad
