Hello from a day of hiking! (and from a week of mysteriously missing blogs... ;) )
Today Mark and I went with another couple to go hiking in Hocking Hills State Park, a gorgeous forest filled space with cliffs overlooking gorges and small caves. It is about an hour southeast of Columbus, so it made for an excellent day to enjoy each other’s company and see some very interesting sites. We went to three places- Ash Cave, Cedar Falls (pictured above), and Old Man’s Cave. Yes, Old Man’s Cave was named after a recluse that used to live there! We kept expecting there to be an elderly man sitting in a rocking chair in the cave shouting at people to get off of his property…
Sometimes it’s nice to be able to go on a mini road trip with friends and just enjoy being together. :)
The other quite interesting part of my weekend was going to see The Barber of Seville on Friday night. It was being presented in a park in German Village by a local theatre company and was quite hilarious! All of the actors were their normal characters X 1000000, which meant that the elderly guardian had a blue mohawk, Figaro had a thick country accent, and Rosine was frequently hysterical. It was lots of fun to see it- and I rather liked the quaint set too.
The song of the week is a song I heard as I was leaving work Friday a week ago… and it’s been stuck in my head ever since. It’s just a cute country song. J Not to mention, I react similarly whenever I hear a song I really love… Enjoy!
