VERMONSTER

So, Cecilia and I find ourselves in Vermont, snuggling and eating and looking at mountains.

Before that, we were in Boston on Saturday for some excitement and it was a day full of B-list celebrity and ZOMBIES. We were just walking along (with Mum and Pop and Matt too), and we saw Mary Murphy, female judge of So You Think You Can Dance, which is, in case you were wondering, Mum's favorite show and summer obsession. She was in town doing auditions for the fall season, and was just out walking on her lunch break. She was really nice and Mum was glad. A minor brush with fame, I suppose.

THEN THERE WERE ZOMBIES. We were listening to this cool kids play guitar with flowers in them, and also there was a teeny girl with dreds hoola hooping (in another life, or perhaps this one, these people were from Oberlin), and then all the sudden there's this dude in a doctor's outfit with like fake blood all over him. We were confused, and then as we went to go back the way we came, there were literally, 250 ZOMBIES walking towards us. Like HUNDREDS of people with blood and guts and eyeballs hanging off of them. Cecilia, naturally, went for the camera to capture this precious moment, but mostly how EXCITED we were that there were zombies. There was a zombie in a banana costume, which was probably the best zombie. Add in a Mexican feast that Cecilia and I cooked later and an ice cream rendez-vous with Justin, and Saturday was a fantastic day.

Now that we are in Vermont, we are pretty well-fed and into mountains. We woke up this morning and looked out the window and it was really lovely, and we went to see some cider mill and did a good hike this afternoon. Basically, we're just glad to be out of topographically challenged Ohio or urban NYC, respectively. Also, we snuggle and eskimo kiss a lot.

Tomorrow we are up to Montreal to check out my future stomping grounds and get some administrative things done and mostly just have CC's first trip to Canada! We are stoked.

Seriously guys, 250 ZOMBIES.
