One Amazing Thing I've Done
Couldn't pick one: Hiking down from a telescope in Sierra Nevada, Spain, with another astronomer to see at waterfall in moonlight with a bottle of red wine and a bag of almonds. On the way back, a storm began and we had no radio contact so everybody thought we were in trouble. But we were just tipsy. Witnessing sunshine at midnight in north of Norway, and hitchhiking 1600 km down to Förde. Working 3 weeks at the Earthship Academy in Taos, New Mexico, in freezing February
