Only three showed up today for the Wednesday walkers group. I seized the opportunity to take on the leader role for the hike. My two compadres are also not into those massive and difficult trails so I felt confident in showing them some of My Bitch and the route I’m developing for my debut as a solo Hare.

As we passed through my Alta Vista neighborhood at the beginning of the hike, Bimbo pointed at a house and said it was where one of our newest Hashers lives. A recent widow by the name of Heidi. As we neared the residence Bimbo started calling out her name and a very cute young woman came out. Not Heidi, but apparently one of her friends. Heidi soon after come downstairs and invited us in for a quick tour of the house. It was massive and beautiful. Including a rooftop bar! Heidi told us she rents out rooms on AirBnB. After a quick visit we continued on our way. I felt an instant attraction to the friend and Heidi was also an attractive woman. I may have to make an effort to get to know my neighbors better!

So we did my trail and then took a lunch break on my back patio. My house is nothing compared to Heidi’s, but the guys liked it too. The trail came in at around 6K, so I’m getting there. I saw a couple of new paths I’ll investigate over the coming days to see if I can’t get another kilometer or so added.

As is our Wednesday tradition, we finished our walk at Cheap Charlies where we re-hydrated ourselves with some refreshing cold brews.

And oh yeah, here’s a fun little song that explains the attraction of Filipinas…
