Queryland

On venturing into Queryland…

It’s a place constructed of impenetrable walls and sealed doors on the outskirts of Agentville and a few miles from Published.

There’s a lot of door- knocking going on and, surprisingly, a few doors have inched open, while others have either disappeared entirely or remain unanswered.

Things you must know before exploring Queryland:

Patience is a virtue: True

No news is good news: Not true

Persistence pays off: Currently Testing

Onward and knock, knock, knock.

Switzerland via Sundance

Our first date of the2013 Dates Around the World series: Switzerland

If we can’t actually visit each place on our list right now, there’s nothing stopping us from  pretending. Thank you,snowshoes, and thank you,  Sundance, for providing Switzerland-like conditions and ambiance.

(But we were brought promptly back to reality by a snowball ambush. Thank you, tree, for taking the blows.)
