Together they enjoy travel, cooking, exploring vineyards, skiing, hiking, scuba diving, kayaking, camp fires and the occasional glacial ascent (did it once in Peru…never again…smile) Foreign, Comedy, Independent and Adventure films are good. Dancing like Dervishes. And breakfast in bed on a rainy Sunday morning. Amen.
