The Brambles

Amanda and Andy created a new last name for themselves and bestowed eachother with the name as they exchanged shots of their favorite liquor: repectively tequila and scotch. After giving eachother the surname and drinking to its behalf, they tossed their glasses into the desert and waited to be pronounced husband, and with Amanda's concession, wife.

So, it seems that the official part of the honeymoon is now over, as we arrive back (sans home) in the bay area, but in some ways it goes on. In Colorado we spent four days in the lost creek wilderness- what a stroke of genius to encounter that place. It was beautiful- the spring rains had turned the valleys surreal deep green with ephemeral ponds peeping through. Wildflowers were everywhere. The best part was this crazy knobby granite sticking up everywhere making us think we were in sandstoney Utah instead of the Rocky Mountains. We also didn't see anyone for four days.
