Blue Hills Photos

Searching for a place to hike that wasn't too far from Boston (I have a stretch of about 21 days with one sole day off...hello, work hour rules!...so I was quite adamant about sleeping in), we decided upon the Blue Hills Reservation, about a 30 minute drive south of Boston. It contains >125 miles of trails and by the end of the day all of calves were pretty sore. Except Sophie, that is, as I carried her the full way in her Baby Bjorn.

Les Deux Soeurs:
And a special plea to all dialysis patients, or anybody thinking of going into renal failure this Sunday night, in the Boston area: don't get sick tonight. Please, I'm on call, and I'm really hoping that I can lick my wounds after a particularly brutal Sunday...
