John’s back! John’s back from his 6-days, off-the-trail, backpacking hiking and camping quest in Yosemite National Park! As I wrote in a previous post, John went to Yosemite National Park with his colleagues to collect some samples from remote lakes above elevation 10,000 feet that don’t even show up on maps. It was tremendous amout of hardcore hiking while carrying all camping gear, work equipments, plus food and clothes and everything else on their backs! And my dear John made it!

He came back happy and sound, and he got a lot darker than before the trip. He also brought back with him interesting stories, such as a curious baby bear that checked them out from only about twenty feet away, catching tadpoles, seeing deers, golden frogs, and wild flowers, plus bear stealing their food at night and eating everything, including tiny seasoning packages for instant noddles …

He also showed me at least two hundred beautiful pictures of Yosemite backcountry side and made me very envious…

Anyways, to celebrate his heroic return, I took him out on a dinner date to Flemings Steakhouse & Wine Bar over the weekend. We had a lovely time over delicious prime rib, red wine, and absolutely heavenly desert. Their chocolate lavaflow cake is absolutely divine!

Can’t you tell I am very happily engaged? I really adore John, and admire him many things about him.

He’s my hero!
