a 20 minute walk from my house

It seems that whenever I have to choose between too many social engagements with people I kind of know, I panic and cower in my room with familiar people instead.  This is what happened this last Saturday.  There were friends from Spain.  A friend from Burning Man.  One of my best college friends coming up from LA.  Everyone wanted to hang out and I declined all invitations in order to go on a short hike with Jimmy and Elizabeth.  Here are a couple of pictures that I took.

I want to apologize to my friends from far away places for not spending time with them.  But look at these photographs!

I know, I'm horrible.
