Well, maybe not postcards, but definitely emails from Europe. Yes, he managed to stick in a trip between chemo treatments. Pretty amazing!
The flight over went smoothly and he's feeling great. I was a bit dubious about the wisdom of this trip but it seems that his immune system is up to the challenge plus he's weeks past chemo so he's got plenty of energy and drive. He bounces back fast.
He's showing a group of investors around the properties--being on the ground and actually seeing mineral is pretty motivating. They've had some good results so far and we hope they continue to find mineral. The field season is coming to an end for winter and it's time to plan for next year (and have the money to fund the exploration).
He's busy enough that I'm only getting short updates. I know that he made it to Belgrade before his bags due to a tight connection. I know that the group survived a wedding party in their hotel (it seems like every trip runs afoul of a noisy wedding once). They've been touring the Serbian sites and will soon swing through Bosnia briefly.
Naturally I'm wondering what fruits they are harvesting there, if the trees are as colorful as our Sierra aspen, and how the first-timers are enjoying Serbia.
While he's been gone, winter has arrived in the Sierra: snow on the ridges and peaks, windy days, our first killing frost, comforters on the beds and the furnace turned on for the season. It's time to haul out the winter clothes and enjoy soups and stews for dinner. I could have cheerfully enjoyed the gorgeous Indian summer for weeks more, but it is nice to be wearing different clothes and not be eating yet another summertime dinner. Now that I'm not spending most of my time gardening, I've got the sewing machine humming. Can the holiday season be approaching rapidly?
