Moving and mountains

Marie is my girlfriend from India. Or actually, she's from Denmark, but I got to know her when I arrived in India the first time (2003). She had just finished her internship at the Danish Embassy and I were to begin. It was love at first sight, and we spent the next 10 days till her flight back, touring Delhi. Marie played a huge part in my great introduction to Delhi!

The past 3 years, she's been living in the US, because her husband, Jeppe works here. All in all, it was about time, I came visit in Providence, Rhode Island. Their hospitality were incredible - I stayed for 12 days. In return, I helped out with their packing and moving to Boston, at least when Marie and I weren't out touring Rhode Island and surroundings...

Oven cleaning with the Spray of Evil



A well deserved rest day on the couch with the chairs that were ending as garbage.

When the house was emptied, cleaned and cleared, we - literally speaking - filled the car and got on the road. Or to the mountains actually, The White Mountains in New Hampshire, where we'd rented a cabin and spent a couple of days hiking, cooking over fire and drinking wine under the stars.


One full car


Ready for the hike


Sometimes you could doubt whether we actually did follow the trail, like this 100 feet wall (you cant see half of it) - pretty cool climb by the way and it was the trail!



And then 5 km later, 750 m higher in elevation and at least 1,000 more bug bites luckier: Welcome to the "peak" of Mount Jackson with Mount Washington in the background and a classic "Pernille with her hands in the air on the top of something" picture.
