It's hilly!


It’s definitely not flat here. Unlike Wisconsin-ers, when we look down our nose and call people from Illinois the ‘flat-landers,’ we have room to talk! For the first few days she was here, Kerry’s toes hurt from ramming into the tip of her shoe. And they’re pros at building on hills here. Do you see all 4 layers of houses in this photo? Incorporating the rock into the design of your house is not uncommon – we walked by a house that had the garage door up, and the inside of the garage was just rock. The nice thing about all these hills is that you can justify eating more bacon!

  1. OK - so grandma H and I are looking at the four layers of houses, and wondering if they're in your neighborhood. Also hoping Kerry's toes are better (maybe try walking backwards for a while). I'm off crutches, and hope to be through with my "Storm Trooper Boot" in a few weeks. Let me know if you want us to send it to you.

  3. The photo was taken ~3km from our house. We have some pretty good hills in our neighborhood, too (maybe not quite as steep). We can't walk Ani without some change in elevation! My toes are doing much better, but you might want to bring your storm trooper boot when you come...
