Just letting you know we aren't dead...

Well, I guess we haven't blogged in a little while...we didn't have any cool climbing pics/stories, so we haven't been very motivated to do so.

Quick recap of our journey thus far:

Tuesday: went to the Jack Daniels distillery in Lynchburg, TN and drove into Nashville to see the Preds beat the Yotes (hockey...because I know nobody knows...) 3-0 (sick seats for $50...I would have been so far away for $50 at the Garden...). We met two locals at the game and went out to a pretty cool bar with them afterwards...good day.

Wednesday: driving...that is all...Nashville to Eustis, Fl where Alex's friend Kat and her family have graciously allowed us to stay through the weekend (I haven't showered this much in a really long time...I feel soooo clean). Thanks for the hospitality Kat.

Thursday: Thursday was Kat's birthday (happy birthday Kat). Alex and I slept in a bit and then we went out to lunch with Kat (Hibatchi) where the trend of me finishing Kat's meals started and has yet to cease (she wants me to be fat and I don't know why...). After that the three of us went to check out a local climbing gym. It was a bit small, but it was pretty cool. I felt really strong after this month of climbing...Alex and I bumbled up our first 5.12 (needless to say...we did a bit of hanging and re-evaluating...but we got to the top)...and I onsighted a whole slew of boulder problems that some of the local boulderer's seemed to be struggling with (we are pretty stocked to gauge our improvements at our local climbing spots like the gym and the gunks) .

Friday: Kat wanted to go Sky-diving for her birthday, so she and Alex went (I am still nursing a bit of a bum knee from a fall earlier in the trip...so I decided to sit it out thinking the landing might not be great for me and not wanting to ruin my ice climbing season...). They had a great time and I got some pictures/videos of them coming down. We went to a restaurant that let's you make your own pancakes...I had peanutbutter and bananas in mine...tastes exactly like you would think...like wonderful...Alex tried to get a little creative (he tried to make the little mermaid)...let's just say he doesn't have a future in pancake art. Then we rented Alice in Wonderland and watched it...pretty good stuff.

Well I guess that brings us to today...today Kat is having a birthday party at her place, and I think we will be spending the better part of the day getting ready for that...

Music:...err...I forget...

Quote of the day:

At the pancake place.

Larry : "What doesn't kill you, may give you explosive diarrhea"
Alex : "That is definitely the quote of the day"

Not much else to say (as if I didn't say enough already)...Monday we are heading back North and we should be home midweek (did you miss us?) barring any adventures/brainstorms. See you soon...
