Austin, Texas

 the one, the only: SALOME

So happy to visit Austin twice in one year!  We came down in May on a road trip with our best buddies Ally & Marc.  Now we're back to eat more tacos, climb more rock, and hang out more with Austin-ite/former Smith student/best bud Salome.

We made a beeline from Junction to Taco Deli - one of the best food joints ever, then spent a night unwinding with Salome.

The next day Sanch made us breakfast and we walked to the Barton Creek Greenbelt in search of climbable rock.

We climbed a route that we learned was a 5.9 top rope climb, but "x-rated" lead climb -- there is one tricky spot where a lead climber could take a very bad lead fall.  Thank you Sancho, our fearless leader.

 unstoppable!

That night, we hung out with Sal's fun group of friends around a campfire.  We met some of the kids back in May, so it was like seeing old pals.  I made Sal this cable knit & garter stitch pouch for her digital camera.  We were sad to say goodbye.
