Aftermath: We retire for pizza. - Aftermath 2
It doesn't come fast enough. George, sadly, is killed. - 102 0255 IMG
Leslie and her hat are ready to go. - 102 0257 IMG
Thwarted! REI, where three of the climbers need to rent shoes, is closed until 10. - 102 0258 IMG
Leslie and Ali contemplate storming the gates. - 102 0259 IMG
On the drive out there: goats! - 102 0260 IMG
Bryan, George, Leslie's head, in Sex Cave, from above. - 102 0261 IMG
Doug and Ali. - 102 0262 IMG
Doug hikes with the crash pad. - 102 0264 IMG
Setting up. - 102 0265 IMG
Bryan leads. - 102 0268 IMG
As they regroup, it's decided that unconventional methods are called for. - 102 0269 IMG
Shut up! This climb was hard! So what if Leslie needed a little help from the tree? - 102 0270 IMG
Look! There she is! On the rock! (Yes, that's Doug in the "stand there so when Leslie falls she hits you instead of the tree" position.) - 102 0271 IMG
Bryan volunteers his shoulder. Doug, his head. - 102 0272 IMG
And she does fall. And she does hit Doug. Or rather, her ass hits his head. Good times. - 102 0273 IMG
And, with a serious boost, back on the rock. (Notice Doug cringing.) - 102 0276 IMG
And Doug is finally out of ass-range. - PICT0003
A short lay-over in Vegas gives us a chance to gamble (Bryan's first time!). The flight attendants on the SW flight even ran a lottery as soon as we were over Nevada. - PICT0004
Bryan tries his luck. (He wins his quarter back!) - PICT0005
And Leslie hers. (She doesn't.) - PICT0007
Once we arrived at our hotel, we made a quick trip to the drug store to pick up some necessities (Bryan did not purchase the bonnet pictured). - PICT0008
And after a nap (our flight left at 7 a.m.), we took faithful bus #34 to downtown La Jolla. - PICT0010
Leslie was quite taken with the trees in the beach-side park. - PICT0012
More cool trees. - PICT0013
And more. - PICT0014
Still more. - PICT0017
Bryan parks it on some mossy beach rocks. - PICT0019
During spring break, when we'd been together for about a year, we went to San Diego so Bryan could visit a prospective graduate program and Leslie could frolic around California. - PICT0019
The camera wasn't quite fast enough to catch the water running over our feet.
