Impromptu Drive

Yesterday, Gil and I had a lazy morning.  We finally rallied and left the house to run a handful of errands.  Gil had borrowed The Hobbit audio book from the library and we started with chapter 1 when we started our errands.  We got back to the apartment and looked at each other and decided we couldn't spend the rest of a beautiful sunny day inside.  It was cold, though, so we decided on an impromptu afternoon drive.


We went south on HWY 49, then east on HWY 88 through the Amador District of the Eldorado National Forest.  I can see why one of my coworkers calls this district the garden.  It is beautiful.  We stopped at a lake that was frozen over.  It was quite lovely.

 If you look very closely, you can see a group of people playing hockey on the frozen surface.
 We enjoyed the view, made a few quick stops (it was cold!), and enjoyed listening to The Hobbit.   We went north towards Tahoe, then west and home on HWY 50.  For someone who does not at all do spur-of-the-moment, I survived and had a wonderful afternoon with my Mr.
