1. Christmas markets in Berlin followed by pasta meals and vodka to warm up.
2. Reading John Muir and feeling good about pretty much everything until the last page; then reading it again.
3. Three-way tie: Holland, the ferry boat to Holland, friends in Holland.
4. Pitchers of red wine in Portugal on the stormy-insane coast. Ericeira, you’re the real thing.
5. Portland’s big snow. Were you there? It was legit, fully.
6. Late-summer blackberry harvest
7. Not getting sick when the flues hit. Preventative magic: raw ginger and garlic chased by mezcal.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       8. Sunshine in Madrid by the bullring after a freezing week in horrible Paris.
9. Finding a secret swimming beach in Virginia. Where are you now, August and July?
10. Touring Scotland and NOT having soul-crushing, ridiculous, life-shattering shows. What gives?
