A Brief Period of Rest. (Not that we haven't slept on the trails.)

As we attend to a few private issues, take a break from the heat willingly, and a pass from the mountains reluctantly, we hope you'll join us in enjoying a good rest. We think it's not so much that you rest but where you do it. It makes a big difference. 

The New Zealand Hangover.
That's pretty blatant at Coral Dunes, Utah. Obviously, a very tired girl trying to get out of cooking that evening.
If ever she earned a sleep: Wheeler Peak, New Mexico. Jen could not find her hot-water bottle.
Decided not to sleep, rest only. Perdeberg, Western Cape.
High Altitude of Sierras, lower pressure, more sleep she tells me.
'Supping, no,...resting with the devil' on its peak in Cape Town via the ravine trail—so easily corrupted.
Rudely woken on Hamlin Peak, Nevada. 'Sorry!'
We call it the 'Peruvian Forty-one Winks Siesta'. After 1,500 feet climb, we had a further 2,000 to go.
Slovenian light sleep before lunch on Kanin.
The Swiss Cheesy on Grosse Sheindegg.
Eureka! I found a spot to sleep on Chopok Peak, in Slovakia.
Horseshoe Bend, Page, Arizona. You should have seen the horse.
Koprovsky Peak, Slovakia, first false peak, the kid prepares to sleep (on right).
Black Butte Sleepy Surfboard, Shasta.
Catalina Island, room service in the wilderness.
Seeking a place to sleep in Kathmandu...not easy.
Havasu City, Arizona. Hard to tell whether his eyes are closed but he hasn't fallen.
Waking at sunrise on Koko Head, Hawaii.
Chapas Peak in Spain soon after alarm clock woke her.
"Oops! No place to sleep. Took a wrong turn in Hungary. Maybe we'll get something to eat."
Preparing sleeping quarters for the madam, in Iceland. (She wondered why I had not cut the grass.)
Sleeping in Reenen, Free State (for no charge) at sunset.
For Ever rest ing at Base Camp, Nepal.
Lago Torre, Argentina...contemplation is not considered sleeping.
La Reunion, French Indian Ocean Island, Piton des Neiges. Bon appetit and then she was gone.
In Croatia, pretending he's not sleeping...pretty sly.
"You think I'm sleeping in there?' "Sweetheart, that's the upmarket accommodation. You'll have fresh air where we'll be."
'Think of the view of Annapurna, Nepal, Lucky Girl'.


Bowl of Fire, Nevada. Caught her napping through the arch.
Never thought I'd love Las Vegas. I don't but from distance and at sunrise, it's a delight (Black Mountain, Boulder City).


Prior to maturity. But it really was a tough day reaching the peak in Cradock, South Africa.

Goodnight from New Zealand.


Sleep well and cheers, (looks like we do) 

Jenni and Jeffrey
