Rain and hail

Its pouring right now & this is the view of tony as I sit safely
inside my tent

Mosquitos are out there too - I've gotten about 30 bites so far.

During the short hike

Yesterday we met this man walking 3 dogs on the trail

Day 1 of the trip (no hiking yet)

Here's a photo of Will from earlier today. The sun behind him creates a very interesting effect.

Actually, we did do a little hiking today, but just bc we had extra time. That's where I took this pic, as Will is standing on a couple of logs forming a bridge across the small river.

The little hike made me thristy and out of breath, but hopefully I can get acclimated quickly in the coming days.

I'm going to continue reading Romans 12. Maybe by the end of the trip I'll have the chapter memorized!

Roxy, Evan's dog

Right next to the San Diego Convention Center where I came for Comic-
Con earlier this year. Bus currently picking up from Hilo Hattie, the
Store of Hawaii. Yet it is not in Hawaii, but right here in San Diego.

Free bus ride. Will see where it goes. Skipped breakfast today, so
plan to eat whenever I get back.
