Unexpected connection

Managed to meet with a friend I see rarely, as she lives in Southern California; she's been on a road trip with a boyfriend, and I got to met him. They are so happy, climbing in fun places, thinking about buying land in the Sierras not far from the Yosemite gate, living in a yurt. It was wonderful to catch up with her, and they invited us to go down there for hiking and moderate climbing. Since I've never been in the Sierras, I think it's a great idea.
Fun final family dinner and hanging out; they're back to Idaho tomorrow.
