When you get international guests, you get to do some serious touristing in your own home country and try and see like someone who isn't used to it sees it, which usually means you will appreciate your own home more too. Sadly the weather has been really bad the past few days, with only momentary dryness and sunshine. We tried to make the most of every moment and as soon as it looked like we could enjoy the outdoors, we sprinted to the car and went sightseeing.
We made it to a watchtower dry, except for the wet feet and legs because we were picking blueberries and raspberries in the wet bushes. It's always a selling point when you can get snacks from the woods while you are out hiking.
