This past Sunday was a bit cloudy, a bit rainy (some of us thought the sun may come out and donned shorts…ok one of us and it never did…), but a cheery day for an international community to come together to get to know one another. We found fewer views, but a plethora of animals. Chipmunks and marmots posed for us on rocks as the au pair crew of this 2016 hike ascended to new heights. Also of note, a nice sing-along to the top 40s, including our own Seattle boy, Macklemore. They are true Seattle-ites now!
