¡Vaya con Dios! | Long Time Gone

***I’m gonna have to rush this post before I depart.***

I woke up at 3 a.m. after having set my alarm for 4. It’s all good, that extra hour will let me dash out another worthless post here for anyone who cares about my yesterday. The big events were the Wednesday Walkers trek and packing. Then I had some beers at Red Bar, Cheap Charlies, and Wet Spot for dessert.

Let’s get to it:

***Fellow walkers Tim, Ed, and Scott.***

***Peak-a-boo, I see you!*** ***(the spelling is intentional)***

***Nice to see Mountain Mama Onelia again.***

***I’m overdue for a visit to the Kalaklan Ridge. It’s on my to-do list for when I get back from Vietnam.***

***A rare sighting of Mountain Mama MJ.***

***I don’t usually take photos of the graduation banners, but I swear I know this girl from somewhere, I just can’t remember where.***

***It was the long version of the “My Bitch” trail (7K), not to be a dick about it.***

***Got a haircut, then ran into Brian at Red Bar.***

***The best part about hanging out at Cheap Charlies is ordering eats from the restaurant downstairs, Foodies. I went with the sweet-and-sour pork last night.***

A nightcap at Wet Spot, and some friends of Swan’s from Germany dropped by to join us. Had to bail on them early (though 8:30 is late for me) to be ready for today. And now today has arrived.

From the LTG August 2016 archives, I write about moving on with my life, poco a poco. I wasn’t quite as far along as I thought I was, but I was making steps in the right direction.

Here’s a YouTube video I haven’t had the chance to watch yet, but it seems relevant somehow. I’ll give it a view when I get to Vietnam and see if it saves me any money.
