StringGirl 3.0: KamGrrl

KamGrrl, the latest iteration of StringGirl to travel with me
February of this year a very unfortunate event lead to us having to say goodbye to StringGirl and Amber. After a flight from Zurich to Dusseldorf, I found that the two girls had sprung loose and did not make it out of the airside portion of Dusseldorf Airport. After over 600,000 miles flown the original StringGirl was gone.

What I found was that travel really was not the same without them.

 Enter KamGrrl (StringGirl 3.0) who was crafted with the help of not only Audrey and Clarissa, but also our friend Dan Vicary of the High School Drama Technical Department. Who assisted in the first few scroll saw cuts to make the kid.

Moonrise Kingdom, a cozy craft beer bar in Tokyo-Shinjuku

Craft Brewing is not what normally comes to mind when people ask about Japan. They'll ask if you like raw fish (there is more to Japanese cuisine than Sashimi or Sushi), or they'll comment about Sake (there is more than just rice wine in Japan); but if you look, you will definitely find some. Our recent trip to Tokyo, this April just after the Sakura had been swept away by rain :-( we were able to find a perfectly suitable refuge for the Craft Beer Lover.  Moonrise Kingdom(via their Instagram) StringGrrl with one of the NEIPA/Hazy IPA on tap from Japanese Craft Breweries As a treat, the owners shared an American Milk Stout from Left Hand Brewing out of Colorado Local ExPat who gave up their stool to make room for StringGrrl and Kam Carryout beer from Kyoto Brewing Company, Vertere

Sebastian supplied the sleds/toboggans, and after a full morning on the mountain skiing. We planned to use the few remaining hours of lift access to run the Rodelbahn. Totally reasonable. 3) The run isn't like a luge or bobsled but a trail down reasonable slopes (switchbacks adjacent to a green dot, blue square ski run) but maybe a bit narrower. Rodelbahn at Nauders 4) I think I over-steered at the exact wrong time and was catapulted into the trees, and down a steep slope, bounced off many trees, broke a few d...
