The strangest Trip Part 1
Well, sorry I've been slack keeping up with the posts on this trip, it's been a long strange one and I've been pretty beat in the evenings but I'll try to catch you all up since I'll be returning Friday.
Well, we started the trip in Alpine, remember that place? Well, it was just as lame as before. The bright side: I got my own room this time. One of many downsides: I was right next door to the designated smoking room for the whole facility.
So, a big emphasis up here is safety, to an insane degree. Up there safety glasses are required when you're outside with sometimes disastrous results, it's hard to see when you fog up like this every couple minutes (how's this for a horrible picture):
It also leads to some amusing signs (there's an obsession up here with using handrails when on stairs):
