hiking friends

a song introduced to me by itunes, surprisingly.

when i was still new to texas, i got invited hiking.  i was so nervous, because i barely knew these kids, and it was hot out, and all sort of other reasons that i can't remember.

it was probably 90 or 100 degrees out.  and surprisingly, i wasn't the one who was dying.  noe, the one from hawaii was dying (surprise, surprise!).  so we went for a shortish hike and then swam in the river.

and it was the beginning of ruthie's and my hiking friendship.  last week we did a 14.5 miler!  it was fantastic, and horrible, all at the same time!

ruthie's husband, ruthie, and noe
all of texas's trails look the same.  i have no sense of direction in this place.
don't let those nice little flowers fool you.  it was no fresh spring day.  it was boiling, boiling, heatstroke summer.
