Tahoe Nov 1-7























 Finally we are on vacation after being stuck at home due to the Covid-19, which is still raging on with more than 100k cases/day in the past few days. Mattias’s job situation is more clear but he has been working really hard. Luca’s remote learning is not going well and Mrs Horn has talked to us several times about him not focusing in the class and not turning in homework. Well, though we want Luca to get better we cannotp blame him. It’s hard for an 8 year old to stay focused on the screen for so many hours a day and the class is not really that much fun ( not the teacher’s fault.) Maya is doing great with her school. She’s always very independent and loves to learn. 

We stay in a 4-bedroom house in north Tahoe. holly/ James join us the first two nights. Tahoe has many beautiful state parks and trails. The colorful foliage, especially the aspens with its golden yellow leaves, is quite a view. We hike on three trails: East Tahoe Trail, Eagle Rock and Shirley Canyon and enjoy them all. We have to cut the vacation short by leaving two days earlier as the temperature plummets overnight and it begins to snow Friday morning. The forecast says there’ll be heave snow over the weekend. Without our mini van and with no snow chains we certainly don’t want to take the chance.
