visitors take 5

(claire-wahkeena falls)
right after beau & danielle departed we had one day to get ready for claire & steve. we met claire and steve on our last european tour and they are great company. unfortunately, i was sick almost the entire they were here so i was a lame host! i got the chance to show claire around the city and to do some shopping and blake rented a killer mountain bike and went on a ride with steve. steve is a pretty skilled rider and he definitely gave blake a ride to remember....apparently blake flew off the bike once and is walking with a bit of a limp, but i think he'd go back in a heartbeat. even though i felt like crappy crap the bulk of the time they were here, it was so fun to see them and to get to know them better. we weren't able to grab a picture of the four of us together, but i did snap a few when i was out with claire. man, the fall here is so flippin' awesome and i can't stop taking pictures. sorry if they are beginning to seem like overkill.

sad that you were sick. I am sure that you were a fine host even in your sickness! How fun to entertain so much. Poor Blake!

I love all of your pictures! You should have gone into photography. --seriously. I'm totally in for the haunted hotel. HOORAY!!!! I'm just stoked that you have so many visitors that you'll know all the coolest places to take me when I come. --you'll probably be so sick of having people come by then though.
