Carin Visit

It's been a long time since I've seen any friends from Houghton. Carin was on her way to Japan and stopped by to visit a few of her friends on this island. It's a bit strange, but there's 7 MTU people on this island that were around when I was up there. I can't decide whether it's that the world is small, or that you know so many people that a few random coincidences are normal. I think the smallest the world has felt for me was on the summit of south teton with Jesse. 6 months after leaving australia, on a random week day on the summit of some mountain top, an 8 hour hike in some national park in Wyoming, I finally met two friends of a friend I was supposed to have dinner with one night the year before. They were on their way from Oz back home to Europe and they just happened to summit this random mountain on the same day. Go figure. Anyways, I digress. I met her and her friends to do a hike at Mariners Ridge and a Hanauma snorkel. It was a really good day.
