Our stay in Truckee with Mary and all of her friends was such a fun and wonderful treat. We spent the whole weekend paddle-boarding on the lake and camping in the woods, enjoying delicious foods and tasty beers with good company in this little town nestled righti beside Lake Tahoe. Some nights we shacked up with Mary's friends Steve and Charity and their beautiful 3 month old daughter Bella. We slept in a neat RV on the side of their house, and it was fun to hole up in there and play house for a bit. They gave us invaluable advice regarding our pending departure to Southeast Asia (such as: take a cooking class in Chiangmai. Purchase travel insurance for our expensive camera...) and let us spend time with their teeny baby girl, who was a just a delight to be with. It's not every day that you get to hold a just-born person in your arms and count all those perfect little fingers and toes. J even learned how to change a diaper!
Other than that, it was just nice to be with Marybird in her element. She moved out here a few years ago and only comes back to the east coast two or three times a year, so I don't get to see her very often. I'm glad that we got to hang out in this big, beautiful place she's been talking about for years- and I understand now why she decided to stay. Her friends were so awesome and fun to be around too, and it felt nice to know that she's surrounded herself with good folks. We parted ways early Monday morning- her to Park City, Utah (where she works for some months) and us to Reno, Nevada- the biggest little shitty on earth.
Many, many thanks-- to Steve, Charity, badass Mallory with her new machete and badder Travis with his new knee-- for taking us in, for sharing stories and advice, and for showing us an awesome time in Truckee :)
